As Brene Brown states "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen". I believe reaching out for counseling support takes courage as it leads us out of our comfort zone. Finding a supportive counselor is important and I base my practice on being a supportive and non judgmental partner to help you navigate your way through a difficult time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in the counseling field for over 25 years. My goal is to partner with you to provide timely counseling support for the current challenges you are experiencing. My practice is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) using Acceptace and Commitment Theory (ACT) to help clients make steps toward a meaningful life. I incorporate Solution Focued Therapy and Mindfulness Skills into my work to help clients resolve issues effieciently and gain skills to use on a daily basis. I work within a Trauma Informed framework. Often times making one or two small changes can free a person up to move toward the life they want to live. I wholeheartedly believe in the process of change and my work with clients continues to teach me about the resiliency of the human mind and the ability to move toward a meaningful life by increasing one's psychological flexibility. I love the work I do!

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with five years of experience in the United States and 23 years of experience in marriage and parenting in Cameroon, Africa, with the Worldwide Marriage Encounter and the Catholic church. I am accredited to counseling the military and their families. I have vast experience and knowledge in this field and am currently a Military and Family Life Counselor at a military base in South Carolina. I served with the faith-based organization as a parenting coach for 12 years. I served as a Behavioral Health Consultant at Brookland Medical Practice, Cayce, South Carolina, and a Qualified Mental Health Professional at the South Carolina Department of Corrections. I am a Military Family and Life Counselor in Columbia, SC, and an online Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I am currently in the dissertation phase of my Ph.D. in psychology. In a few months, I will graduate. I work as a behavioral health consultant at Eau Claire Cooperative Health. Before, I worked at a Crisis Stabilization Unit in a penitentiary department. I invite you to read about my education, background, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name above our messages. I generally check messages a few times daily, Mondays to Fridays, and respond as quickly as possible. During the weekend, I might take a bit longer time to respond. I will appreciate your patience during such times. It takes longer during the weekend because I might be helping other clients or carrying out their duties and responsibilities. My profile's availability is tentative, so I can arrange an appropriate time with my client if requested. There are many stressful issues on earth now, including COVID–19 and all its ramifications, the vaccine fight, and people acting in response to these incidences. The world we now live in is strange. Life situations like the above can cause significant worry for some and overwhelm others. It is our place as counselors to help humanity with these issues. I welcome the client to the counseling session with a smile and encourage them to tell me their difficulties, problems, or constraints. I like counseling clients from 13 years and above. I encourage clients not to see themselves as the problem or the disorder but as people with difficulties or suffering from an illness. I treat my client with respect, sensitivity to their core beliefs, and empathy for their issues. I also handle relationship issues and other life experience issues. My core counseling approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I combine this approach with person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and narrative counseling. I mostly used open-ended questions when dialoguing with clients. These questions are tailored based on the client's needs. I have understood that in the helping profession, you have to love your career, and I love my career. The helping profession needs courage and determination from the counselor and the client.
