About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience based in Connecticut. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and career or life changes. Robyn also supports those navigating ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem difficulties.
She trained in psychology at Roger Williams University and earned a Master of Social Work at Boston University. Her work has taken place in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and in people’s homes. That range means she has seen many different kinds of struggles and practical ways to approach them.
Robyn focuses first on building a professional connection so progress can follow. Her style is client-centered and strengths-based, with a solutions focus. She helps people identify what is working for them and what they want to change, then builds concrete steps toward those goals.
In sessions she draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She uses these approaches to teach skills for managing emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and improving relationships.
Clients who work with her can expect straightforward, practical conversations. Robyn aims to map out clear goals and small, achievable actions people can use between sessions. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into everyday life and routines.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It is helpful when anger is getting in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts and behaviors interact, with practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce reactive responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce intense emotional reactions.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Robyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps set clear goals and tries techniques, then adjusts the plan based on what is useful.

They also let people practice skills in real-life routines and bring concrete examples from daily life into the conversation.
