About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with addiction, self-esteem issues, ADHD, loneliness, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
Roberto approaches counseling as a collaborative process. He listens first and helps people notice their own strengths. He avoids giving instructions every session and instead helps clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions begin with a clear look at the situation and what the person wants to change. He helps set realistic, concrete goals and then works with clients on small, manageable steps toward those goals. Techniques come from several approaches to match the person's needs and style.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas help him look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term change and build momentum when people feel stuck.
Roberto has practiced in mental health for about 15 years and brings that experience into everyday talk during sessions. He offers services in English and Spanish and works with people from varied backgrounds to address life changes and recurring emotional patterns.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how your early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions can help you notice patterns in how you connect, react, and seek closeness, and then try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thinking, feeling, and behaving. In online work CBT techniques can include tracking thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing behavioral experiments between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try approaches that match your needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls give face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on real change.
