Robin Reinhard , LPC

Robin Reinhard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues related to identity and addiction. She draws on ten years of clinical experience and a background in both community settings and clinical programs. Her work often connects to women's issues and LGBT concerns when those topics come up in sessions.

Robin began in managed care for foster services and later completed a Master of Arts in Counseling. Early work included supporting people with substance use disorders and running an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center. She has also provided supervision for master’s-level clinicians and worked in inpatient and foster care settings with young people.

Her experience includes counseling for bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. She has a long history with family-of-origin issues and started the first Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting in her region in 2010. That background informs how she talks about patterns, boundaries, and recovery in sessions.

In practice, Robin blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, existential questions, and mindfulness exercises. Sessions usually focus on concrete tools, emotional awareness, and steps people can try between meetings.

People who choose Robin can expect straightforward conversations about what’s working and what isn’t. She aims to help clients understand their patterns, reduce distressing symptoms, and build coping skills for daily life. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical progress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions. Online sessions can help clients notice relational patterns, practice new responses, and build safer connections with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes. It works well online because clients can review worksheets, try experiments between sessions, and track progress over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Teaching those skills remotely supports people managing intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Picking the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and style. That may mean combining elements of attachment work, CBT, DBT, existential reflection, or mindfulness exercises and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and practicing interpersonal work. Phone calls can fit a short check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates between appointments or do brief check-ins during a busy day. Together, these options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while using the approaches described above.
