About Robin
Dr. Robin Avery is a licensed psychologist in North Carolina and California with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, among other issues listed in her practice focus. Her approach aims to help people notice what gets in the way of everyday functioning and learn clearer ways to respond.
She uses practical, evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to teach skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to explore how relationships shape patterns of behavior and emotion. Sessions include skill coaching and reflective conversation to increase self-awareness and problem-solving.
Dr. Avery emphasizes working with the whole person. She integrates life experience, creativity, and mindfulness into clinical work so that therapy covers thoughts, feelings, and daily coping strategies. That can include managing caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, body image and eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue. She helps people develop techniques to handle uncertainty and build clearer patterns of living. Sessions are aimed at practical change and increased clarity rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Avery uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related problems and focuses on concrete skills and behavioral experiments.She also applies acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can support coping with ongoing life stress, grief, and changes that feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then collaborate to try methods that fit each person’s needs. That may mean combining CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed ideas as therapy progresses.
