About Robin
Robin Daughenbaugh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of practice as an LCSW and a longer history as a social worker. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Guilt and shame are listed among the topics she focuses on.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions are built around listening to the person's story, clarifying what matters most, and identifying small steps that feel doable. Robin names strengths clients already have and uses those as a starting point for change.
Her approach draws on several practical therapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's priorities and choices. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding reasons to change.
Robin also works with Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches to reframe difficult memories and to set short-term goals. These methods aim to make progress feel tangible rather than abstract. She pays attention to how past events, relationships, and roles can feed guilt and shame, and she helps people name those patterns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Robin encourages people to try small experiments between meetings and to notice what shifts. She combines practical tools with attention to each person's story and values.
She practices in California and conducts work in English. The LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates professional licensure in California.
How her approaches translate to online work
Robin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and addictions. CBT sessions often focus on small experiments and concrete behavioral steps that can be practiced between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's priorities and choices. This approach emphasizes listening and supporting the individual's decisions, which can shape the pace and focus of online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has and hasn't helped before, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
