That work emphasizes pacing, safety, and building coping tools before addressing traumatic memories. She supports people coping with loss, shame, isolation, or challenges related to illness or first responder and veteran experiences.

Practical skills for sleep, stress management, and pain coping are regular parts of treatment. The focus is on small, achievable steps people can use between sessions. Progress is measured in real-world changes like better sleep, fewer panic episodes, or improved mood.

Starting therapy with Dr. Robertson begins with a brief intake to identify goals and preferences. From there she and the person create a plan that fits their life and priorities.

How Dr. Robertson's Approaches Work Online

Dr. Robertson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep issues.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward and prefers a collaborative, goal-focused conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they adjust pacing and techniques based on what is most helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find virtual work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations can support skill practice for sleep, stress, trauma recovery, and pain coping without changing the active, hands-on nature of CBT and motivational work.
