About Roberta
Roberta Davis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with life changes, and address trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making worried parents and busy adults feel heard and understood from the first conversation.
Roberta draws on twelve years of professional experience in school counseling, social work, and primary therapy roles.
Background and approach
She also has experience teaching psychology, which she uses to explain difficult ideas in plain language. Sessions are collaborative and practical; she helps people set small, doable goals and build routines that reduce overwhelm. In the therapy room she prioritizes openness and nonjudgmental listening.
People can talk about grief, addictions, sleep and eating struggles, identity concerns, or parenting stress and expect a calm, steady presence. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, immigration stress, and workplace compassion fatigue. Roberta works with a wide range of issues that include obsessive thoughts, phobias, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related problems.
She is attentive to multicultural and discrimination-related stress and to challenges faced by LGBTQ people, including gender dysphoria and adoption or foster care matters. Her approach emphasizes real-world coping skills rather than jargon. People leave sessions with concrete steps they can try between appointments.
Roberta encourages questions and adjusts plans as needs change.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress care
Roberta commonly uses evidence-based techniques that teach concrete skills people can use right away. One approach focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real evidence, which can reduce worry and obsessive thinking. Another approach emphasizes building routines and behavioral changes - small steps like sleep consistency, brief exercises, or paced exposure to feared situations - to lower anxiety and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of how she works. Roberta collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She adjusts the plan over time and checks in about what is working and what needs to change, so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video lets people use visual cues during conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be used for brief check-ins or between-session support. These formats offer flexibility for parents, workers, and anyone balancing appointments with a full schedule.
