About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 15 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and feelings of abandonment or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Roberto uses practical, goal-focused conversations to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. He listens for unhelpful thoughts and habits and helps clients try different ways of responding. He does not assume one answer fits everyone and avoids giving advice unless it directly helps the client reach a goal.
In the first meetings he helps people name the most pressing issues and set clear, concrete goals. Sessions often focus on specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve communication. He uses short exercises and check-ins so progress can be tracked week to week.
Roberto draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. That means he pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, and he centers the client's perspective when choosing steps to try. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want to clarify goals and take action.
People who meet with him can expect a structured process of identifying problems, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what worked. The emphasis is on small, practical changes that fit into everyday life and build on the client's existing strengths.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Roberto commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short exercises and homework; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based approaches look at how past and current relationships influence feelings and reactions, and they can help with intimacy-related issues and patterns of avoidance or fear. Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on the problems they bring, their goals, and what feels practical to try. Sessions usually set small, measurable steps and review progress together. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during short breaks or between tasks. They also let people use phone-only check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Overall, remote work can support consistent, structured practice of CBT skills and relationship-focused reflections without needing to rearrange a whole day.Areas of expertise
