Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Westport, CT

I’m Ilene Robbins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe meaningful change happens through connection, trust, and understanding. Clients often describe me as warm, highly perceptive and solution oriented . I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.

I work with teens, adults, professionals, parents, and couples who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — even when things appear “fine” on the outside. I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.

As both a clinician and a parent, I understand how complex relationships and emotional worlds can be. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance to my work, helping clients make sense of patterns that feel confusing or painful and move toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

You don’t need to come in with perfectly formed goals, just a willingness to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of creating meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in various settings including outpatient, nonprofit, and school programs. I've also worked with oncology and intensive care patients in a hospital setting, which deepened my understanding of grief counseling and medical advocacy.

I am trained in EMDR and draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. I combine compassion and my clinical expertise to support the clients I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate and overcome their struggles to support and help regain stability in their lives.

I value building a trusting, authentic relationship with each client. It’s important for clients to feel and recognize the growth and progress that naturally emerge through the process. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

I strive to make the therapeutic experience a safe and supportive space in which creativity and collaboration can unfold for enlightening and lasting developments. I have expertise working with children, adolescents and young adults facing challenges associated with unique life transitions, and specific concerns including anxiety, ASD, ADHD, emotion regulation, identity exploration, and social skills. My clinical experience encompasses a variety of settings from community mental health centers to academic settings, and with clients expressing various facets of diversity. I am currently licensed in the state of Connecticut.

I am a licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist based in downtown Fairfield, CT. I am passionate about helping my clients promote positive change in their lives through introspection and conscious action. I utilize a holistic approach that combines counseling, coaching, art therapy, and mindfulness practices.

You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!
