About Robin
Robin Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice. He focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges. He also helps with depression, grief, addiction patterns, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to intimacy and self-esteem.
Robin uses straightforward, relationship-centered work. Sessions are practical and goal oriented. He helps people name what is most urgent and then builds simple steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
His background includes a decade of Family Preservation Therapy experience. That work involved supporting adults, teens, and couples as they navigated conflict and safety concerns. He has particular experience with process addictions such as pornography and gambling, and with substance-related problems.
Robin values clients' own strengths and decision making. He helps people reconnect with supports and remove barriers to getting help from others when that makes sense. He is non-religious but understands Christian faith concerns, including questions common among Latter-day Saint communities.
In session he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. He also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. The Gottman Method informs his work on relationship communication and repair.
Robin practices in Oregon and conducts work in English. He aims for clear, practical sessions that parents can fit into busy lives.

Approaches Robin lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online work
Robin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress through specific exercises and homework.He also applies the Gottman Method when relationship repair or better communication is the goal. That approach focuses on practical skills for noticing patterns, de-escalating conflict, and rebuilding connection between partners.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients often blend techniques rather than using a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows richer interaction for relationship work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, progress updates, or brief coaching between longer sessions.
