Hello! I am Robin Glaser and I am an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina. I have been working in the counseling field for 9 years. I began working after I received my master's in counseling psychology from Loyola University Maryland with some credits from Washington College in 2014. I began working with adults in the private practice setting while also working with children and families as a school based therapist in Baltimore. I transitioned to working in the day treatment setting as a therapist at a day program at Kennedy Krieger Institute for children and families with neurological disabilities while also working for an outpatient clinic with adults part time. I truly enjoyed having my experiences and work with a very wide range while starting my career and gaining much experience with many various patients. I moved to South Carolina in 2018 and transferred my license to the state. I now work for the department of mental health full time as a therapist in an outpatient clinic and for Betterhelp part-time. My counseling approach is very individualized and client-centered. I loved to work with cognitive behavioral strategies, behavioral approaches, trauma informed treatment, solution focused therapy, goal setting, problem solving, and client-centered approaches. My experience includes a wide range of diagnoses and I feel as though I have most experience in anxiety related issues, trauma related disorders, social and relationship problems, depression and mood related concerns, anger management, and working with those with disabilities. I am certified in trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and use this treatment model to help those with trauma related diagnoses. I would like to assist those seeking help by helping empathically and with genuine concern. My strength is in listening to others and helping others based on their own goals and desires. I like to set realistic and attainable goals in the treatment process and develop a plan and use strategies that are helpful and can help us both see growth and progress. My passion is to help those who seek it feel heard and listened to and make progress to end up being who and where they want to be.
