About Robin
Robin Matchett-Schmidt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and attention and concentration concerns. Robin believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, down-to-earth manner to each conversation.
Her approach begins with listening. Sessions aim to understand what matters most to the client and build on existing strengths. She uses practical, collaborative methods so people feel heard and gain tools they can put into use between sessions.
Background and approach
Robin draws from a mix of therapies depending on need. That can include attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. Motivational interviewing and client-centered techniques also inform her style.
She helps people cope with a wide range of issues beyond primary concerns. Areas she supports include adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome related concerns, blended family stress, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, eating-related issues, and end-of-life or hospice related counseling. Robin aims to make sessions straightforward and focused.
She works with people who want practical help and a respectful, steady guide through difficult moments. Starting therapy can feel hard, and her practice centers on meeting each person where they are.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Robin commonly blends attachment-based work and EMDR with practical cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift interactions that cause stress or disconnection. EMDR focuses on processing troubling memories in a way that can reduce their emotional charge and make daily life easier. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, mood, and focus issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Robin will listen to a person’s story and collaborate on goals and methods. She tailors techniques to fit preferences and the problems someone brings, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send messages between sessions or use written check-ins when that format feels easier. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
