About Robin

Robin Burns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Robin also helps people struggling with codependency, attachment wounds, and the fallout of difficult caregiving situations.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills, clarifying values, and practicing small changes that reduce overwhelm. Robin listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self, and she helps clients notice and shift those patterns.

In the room she blends several approaches to match a person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and develops new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools support emotional regulation and distress tolerance during high-stress moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people choose actions that align with what matters to them.

Robin keeps the work collaborative and practical. She often gives short exercises to practice between sessions, and she reviews what worked or didn’t work at the next meeting. This creates concrete ways to test new boundaries and responses in everyday life.

Her background as an LCSW in Texas informs her focus on real-world problems. People looking to address codependency, attachment issues, or the emotional toll of illness and caregiving will find a direct, skills-based approach. To confirm current session arrangements, prospective clients should check the booking details before scheduling.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns like staying stuck to avoid conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings. It is practical for stress, worry, and changing routines that fuel people-pleasing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress. These skills can help when overwhelmed by another person’s crisis or by intense self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That choice can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Talk with the therapist about which session rhythm and setup would best support your goals.
