Robyn Ott, LCSW

Robyn Ott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical experience. She has practiced in private settings for most of her career and helps people who want concrete change in how they feel and behave. Robyn works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, anger, parenting challenges, and trauma-related issues.

Her approach is practical and goal-directed. She describes using strength-focused work to help people notice abilities they already have. Sessions focus on pacing, small achievable goals, and clear steps for follow-through rather than vague talk. The aim is to build confidence through repeated, manageable progress.

Robyn draws on several established therapeutic methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods are used to help change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions like anger, and repair relationship patterns.

She offers practical tools for coping with life transitions, career stresses, sleep and eating concerns, and caregiver burnout. Robyn also addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, and fatherhood concerns. Her work often includes skill building, accountability, and planning concrete next steps.

Robyn encourages people who are ready to try new strategies and do steady work toward their goals. She asks clients to be willing to practice between sessions and to try incremental changes aimed at lasting improvement.
