Robin Ristenbatt is a Maryland-licensed therapist (MD LCSW-C 06332) with 40 years of professional experience. She works with individuals and families on relationship concerns, family conflict, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
With a calm and respectful approach, she creates an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment. Robin tailors conversation and treatment to each person’s specific needs, adjusting interventions to fit individual circumstances and goals.
Robin brings a faith-informed perspective as a Christian, and she identifies as an older, conservative, female therapist. She practices with sensitivity and compassion, offering support and encouragement to those who take the courageous step toward change and a more fulfilling life.
For many everyday concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice have shown it to work well for these common issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can meet with a therapist in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps therapy fit more easily into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
Each therapist you work with is a licensed professional, and you have the option to switch therapists if you feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers an accessible way to begin or continue mental health care while keeping the same standards of professional practice.
