I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, living and working in Virginia as an outpatient counselor. I have masters degrees in counseling and theology. Prior to working in the counseling field, I worked for nearly seven years as a hospice medical social worker. I am experienced in working with victims of trauma, people who have depression, and those with anxiety. My approach to counseling is person-centered, meaning that it is my goal to unconditionally accept you where you are in life before beginning to work with you on what you would like to change. I also use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you cope with your symptoms and learn new thoughts and behaviors.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyAnger managementDepressionADHD

Hi! My name is Robin Carver. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW since 2002. I come to this position with varied professional experiences. I completed an internship at a domestic violence shelter, provided intensive, in-home counseling to families for 1.5 years, worked on a mental health unit at a local hospital providing discharge planning, group work and conducted suicide assessments for 6 years. I spent 4.5 years working in a Therapeutic Day Treatment Program at both a middle school and elementary school (5 yo-18 yo), in which I offered a minimum of one hour of therapeutic intervention and support to children/adolescents, on a daily basis. I was in a supervisory role for the TDT Program and a School Based Outpatient Counseling Program for the last 11 years, supervising clinicians in these positions and providing supervision for their LPS/LCSW licensure. I also supervised an Intensive Care Coordination program, one of the most intensive therapeutic services available for youth, for 2 years. I have counseled adults and teens via the BetterHelp online platform since May 2022. These numerous experiences have helped me to grow in my professional development immensely as well as provided me with varied opportunities to develop and strengthen my clinical skills. I feel that building a strong and trusting relationship is the foundation to a successful therapeutic experience. Hence, that is the focus of my work, finding a way to join with you where you are in life. Being warm, kind, accepting, non-judgmental, listening and reflecting are core principles I utilize in counseling. Once a trusting relationship has been established, I will begin working with you to find strategies that will work to alleviate the various symptoms you may be experiencing. I find it extremely rewarding to help you identify your strengths and values, teach you coping skills and strategies to assist you in overcoming challenging situations in a positive way and being there for you in times of need. Sometimes, you just need a person to trust, someone who will listen to you, someone to be with you in your most difficult moments. I am humbled to have this opportunity and cherish each and every person with whom I have the opportunity to work. I believe that everyone is unique, strong and resilient and I enjoy being able to walk beside you in your journey of self-growth. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you! Warmly, Robin Carver, LCSW

I work with clients experiencing difficulties managing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, PTSD, Anger Management, and Relationship Issues for the last 14 years. I have worked with single men and women as well as couples. Often the first step in healing is learning about yourself and how to manage a variety of emotions. Talk therapy is often the beginning of self-reflection. I believe you can not only examine but re-write narratives for and about yourself. My approach creates space for a non-judgmental atmosphere that is centered in compassion.
