About Robin

Dr. Robin Gibbs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a PhD in psychology from Grand Canyon University of Arizona, a master’s degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University, and a bachelor’s degree in Administration of Justice from Texas Southern University. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression.

Dr. Gibbs uses several evidence-informed approaches in her sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work for breaking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) also shape how she talks about relationship patterns and emotional responses.

In practical terms she helps people name what is weighing on them and set short, manageable goals. Sessions are conversational and focused on skills people can use between meetings. She guides people who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary setting, codependent patterns, and problems tied to abandonment or commitment.

Her background spans university degrees and clinical practice, bringing both research knowledge and hands-on experience. Dr. Gibbs has worked with a range of concerns across life stages and aims to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier daily routines. If someone wants to get started, she asks them to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her practice in Texas. International clients are not accepted at this time. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Dr. Gibbs uses therapy approaches online

Dr. Gibbs often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. ACT works well for people who get stuck by worry or avoidance and want concrete ways to move forward. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT gives practical exercises people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can involve trying a few techniques and tracking what helps most over several sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that require less bandwidth or no camera. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help maintain consistency and apply skills in daily routines.
