My name is Dan Cooper, and I have been a licensed counselor since 2008. My path to this work was shaped early on by a year of public service with AmeriCorps, followed by time working in a transitional living program for homeless youth. Watching counselors help young people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives inspired me to pursue this work myself — and that sense of purpose has stayed with me ever since. My approach to counseling is fundamentally collaborative. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and circumstances. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to offer an outside perspective, help you clarify what you want, and support you in taking accountable steps toward your own goals. Together, we work as a team.

I am a therapist who supports adults, adolescents, and children as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in the belief that growth often begins in moments of discomfort, and learning to sit with that discomfort can open the door to deeper insight and transformation. I help clients explore new ways of thinking, understand their patterns, and take intentional steps toward the life they want a pace that honors their humanity. I view healing as a journey rather than a race, one that requires grace, patience, and a willingness to embrace the messy parts of forgiveness and self‑discovery. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and a strengths‑based lens as you build resilience, purpose, and a more grounded sense of self.

Hi, I’m Robyn. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Kansas and Missouri. I work with people who are navigating grief and loss; including the loss of a loved one, changes in relationships, shifts in identity, caregiving stress, or the emotional weight that comes with major life transitions. Many of the people I work with aren’t in crisis, but they feel heavy, stuck, or not quite like themselves anymore. They’re often managing work, family, and responsibilities just fine on the outside, while carrying a lot internally. Sometimes they know something is off, but they don’t yet have the words for it. My style is calm, steady, and thoughtful. I’m comfortable sitting with silence, strong emotions, and conversations that don’t have quick or easy answers. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing or performing. It's a space where you can slow down, be real, and make sense of what you’re carrying. Together, we focus on building clarity, emotional awareness, and a steadier footing as you move forward, at your own pace.

As a therapist, I hold on to the vision of your possible future even when you are in so much pain you cannot see beyond today. I wait patiently for the day when you can see the beauty inside yourself that I saw from the first day we met." (asiansformentalhealth) My therapeutic style is warm, engaging, and genuine. I take an eclectic approach to counseling in which I enjoy working with people from all different lifestyles. I enjoy helping people work through a variety of life challenges, from depression and anxiety to addictions,relationship difficulties, stress management, identity challenges, coping skills, and emotional awareness. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. I also support individuals processing cultural or generational dynamics, perfectionism, and self-worth challenges. My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centered lens and tailor treatment to your unique needs, values, and pace.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Missouri. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
