About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, anger, and related issues such as abandonment and loneliness.
He focuses on practical problem solving rather than giving direct advice every session. Sessions begin with a clear look at the current situation. He helps clients name specific concerns, set reasonable goals, and try concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Roberto uses a collaborative, client-centered style. He treats clients as people with strengths and experience. Conversations often include looking at personal attachment patterns and testing small behavioral changes that reduce stress or reactivity.
He draws from several approaches to match what the person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or anger. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone is stuck or unsure about making a change.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. People can expect discussion, skill practice, and agreed-upon small tasks between meetings. He speaks both English and Spanish and works with adults from diverse backgrounds who want clearer coping strategies and steadier relationships.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Roberto draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect anger and closeness. This approach helps identify repeating interaction styles and what people need to feel understood.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT sessions often include simple experiments and practical skills to test between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he may use to help people clarify their reasons for change and build momentum when motivation feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will review your goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is made. This means sessions can shift from talking and insight to skill practice or short action plans depending on what helps most.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with him during the matching process about how to structure sessions so they fit your daily routine and goals.
