About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as grief and loss, parenting issues, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and coping with life changes. Robyn also supports people facing career shifts, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Robyn approaches sessions with the belief that each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. She uses practical methods from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. Sessions focus on clear steps, skills practice, and exploring how values and relationships shape choices.
Her background includes long-term community work with families across a range of needs. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She is comfortable addressing attachment and communication problems, codependency, and issues around guilt or forgiveness.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about coping skills, emotion regulation, and decision points. Robyn draws on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She explains options and helps people pick practical tools to use between sessions.
Robyn conducts sessions in English and serves people in Utah. If someone is thinking about starting, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online sessions can help people identify what matters to them and practice small, value-based steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it often uses homework and skill drills that suit remote sessions well. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might fit. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust those choices based on what helps most. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around classes, shifts, or commuting. It can also let sessions be shorter check-ins when needed, or set aside time for more in-depth skill practice without travel. Many people find remote sessions help sustain regular meetings while juggling early-adult responsibilities.Areas of expertise
