About Robin

Dr. Robin Avery offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, self esteem, addictions, and coping with life changes. She sees adults across the adult lifespan and aims to help people find clearer direction and more steady coping. Her approach centers on practical skills alongside emotional support so people can move through pain and confusion toward manageable daily life changes.

She uses ideas from several evidence-based approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions combine skill teaching with reflective work that looks at patterns, values, and relationships. Robin emphasizes noticing unhelpful patterns and learning small, practical moves that reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of agency.

Her background includes 18 years working as a psychologist and practice rooted in long professional experience. She describes herself as a caring, empathic therapist who walks alongside people while they uncover the sources of suffering and build coping skills. Credential details include NC Psychologist 5824 and CA Psychologist 12495.

In sessions she supports people learning to live with what cannot be changed, and to shift how they see themselves and their situations when change is possible. She draws on mindfulness, the arts, and life experience to help people reconnect with values, strengths, and meaning. This blend aims to create steadier relationships, clearer decision making, and better daily functioning.

People who value both practical tools and reflective conversation may find this approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so they match your needs.

Therapeutic approaches used online and in session

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. It can help with stress, mood, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change and new challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or caregiving demands. It also lets people use time more efficiently for focused skill-building and follow-up between in-person visits when those are offered. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to how a person lives day to day.
