About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is a licensed counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are grieving, dealing with anxiety or depression, facing major life changes, or struggling with parenting, relationships, and addiction. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD, and challenges like isolation or low self-esteem.
Robyn sees each person as the expert on their own life. She focuses on strengths and practical steps. Sessions often involve listening, clarifying what matters most, and practicing skills that can be used between meetings.
Her approach draws on mindfulness, acceptance and commitment work, attachment perspectives, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That mix lets her tailor sessions to the situation, whether someone needs tools to manage stress or ways to repair connection with others.
Robyn has long experience working with families in the community and brings that background to individual care. She aims to make the room feel calm and straightforward, with clear goals and small, doable changes.
People who meet with her typically leave with simpler ways to cope, clearer priorities, and steps to rebuild confidence. She invites clients to bring their own values and strengths into the work while she offers guidance, reflection, and practical strategies.
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and building self-awareness by teaching short practices to use during the day.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when hard feelings are present. It is useful for coping with life changes, managing depression or anxiety, and reducing avoidance by setting small, meaningful goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and trust that affect relationships. It helps people understand how past relationships shape current behavior and supports building more secure, reliable ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and pick what fits their goals and preferences. That means trying practices, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their daily routines while getting guidance from a licensed professional.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
