About Robin
Dr. Robin Andrus is a Washington LMHC with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem, life transitions and ADHD. She also works with issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and conversational. She listens for patterns in relationships and behavior, and she helps people notice what keeps old problems active.
Robin draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people test thoughts and try out different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone wants clearer direction and commitment to change.
Her style is relational and client-centered. That means she focuses on the person’s experience and works with their goals. She often brings simple tools people can use between sessions to manage stress or shift a reactive pattern.
People come to her for everyday struggles and for deeper wounds. She talks through relationship patterns, grief, and feelings of guilt or shame without judgment. Sessions aim to increase clarity about choices and to build practical skills for daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions using these ideas help people notice patterns of closeness and distance and practice new ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying short behavioral experiments between meetings to test new responses.Finding the right approach tends to be part of the first few conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose strategies that fit the client’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as those needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows people to try conversation-focused work and practice new skills between meetings in everyday settings.
