About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with grief and loss, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Robyn describes people as the experts in their own stories and focuses on strengths clients already have. She uses clear, practical conversation to identify what feels stuck and to try small changes that can ease daily life. Sessions are direct and respectful, aimed at making decisions feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These methods guide work on emotions, patterns, thoughts, and behavior in ways that fit each person’s situation.
Robyn has long experience working with community families and brings that background into how she talks about parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and isolation or loneliness.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses and interaction patterns. It helps when strong feelings or repeated relational patterns make communication and closeness difficult.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions during life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. This work can help with attachment issues, family conflict, and parenting concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a shared process that can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them balance appointments with work, caregiving, or daily life while still working on emotions, behavior patterns, and decision making.
