Abbie Robinson

Abbie Robinson, Behavioral Therapist
I believe that our greatest hurts and greatest healing can be found in the context of relationship; therefore, I work primarily from a Carl Rogers perspective which states that the most fundamental requirement of effective counseling is for the client and counselor develop a strong therapeutic bond. I seek to know my clients as individuals apart from their problems. I strive to be a warm, accepting, and empathetic presence in their lives to create a safe space for verbal processing. I also use a Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy approach which strives to change behavior by identifying negative thought patterns that are inhibiting ideal functioning. Finally, I work to address family-of-origin issues that have impacted the client’s view of self and others. These approaches work well with a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse, relationship issues, and mood disorders. Due to the conversational nature of my work, I only see patients ages 12 and up. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling as much as possible, jogging around Cleveland, spending time with my daughters, and eating my husband’s superb cooking.
