Robin Green Gilman

I am a therapist, and I have a therapist. Therapy is about improving how we feel to create a more fulfilling life. Through my own journey, I learned to challenge unhelpful thoughts and improve my mood, and I strive to help my clients do the same. My style is warm, empathic, and engaging; I’m often told I’m easy to talk to. I integrate homework to reinforce session insights, equipping clients with practical tools for growth. My experience includes working for NYC’s largest labor union’s employee assistance program and serving as program director at Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey, supporting the cancer community. My philosophy: work together as long as needed, then provide check-ins as beneficial.

I believe that our thoughts shape our emotions, which in turn influence our behavior. That’s the foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—and the core of how I work with clients. I also integrate skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, especially when it comes to building mindfulness, emotional regulation, and acceptance.

Therapy with me is meant to be focused and time-limited. We work together to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, improve how you feel, and take action toward meaningful change. When you've built the skills you need, I encourage you to take a break—and come back for refreshers whenever you want to tune up or re-center.

In our work together, you'll learn practical tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotions more effectively, and make meaningful changes in your life. We'll take a close look at how your thoughts shape your feelings—and how both influence the way you show up in the world. Therapy with me is designed to be focused and time-limited, with a clear goal: to help you build lasting skills you can carry forward with confidence. And when life throws something new your way, you’re always welcome to come back for a refresher.
