About Robyn

Robyn Thorsted is a licensed counselor in Utah who focuses on helping people build confidence and handle life changes. She offers support for self esteem, grief and loss, parenting concerns, anxiety, stress, and motivation. Her work also reaches areas such as addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and career transition. Robyn uses plain language and steady guidance to help people take the next step forward.

Robyn has nine years of experience as a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) and decades of community work with families. She centers sessions on the client’s own goals and strengths. Conversations tend to be collaborative and practical, with attention to what feels doable day to day.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered principles. Sessions may include skill practice, values-based planning, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. Robyn encourages small, sustainable changes rather than all-or-nothing fixes.

People come to her for help with grief, parenting stress, low self worth, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and burnout such as compassion fatigue. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, and end-of-life concerns. Robyn aims to make each session feel respectful and oriented to concrete next steps.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while returning attention to what matters most. It uses values-based goals and small actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that fuel distress and testing new ways of responding. It often includes simple exercises and behavioral experiments that reduce symptoms over time and improve problem solving.

Robyn treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or make it possible to focus on skills practice without travel time. Ask about current session options when you schedule so you know how therapy can fit into your routine.
