About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 15 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, and related struggles such as abandonment and isolation. He sees LGBT clients and helps with parenting and family concerns as they come up in individual work.
Roberto takes a practical, collaborative approach. He treats sessions as a place to talk through current problems, set clear goals, and try out specific ways to cope. He does not position himself as someone who has every answer. Instead he treats clients as people with strengths and ideas and partners with them to find workable steps forward.
In-session he combines approaches that focus on how people relate to others, how thoughts shape feeling and behavior, and what can be done in the short term to change patterns. He draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test and shift unhelpful thoughts, and Solution-Focused methods to build immediate strategies that reduce distress.
Roberto also uses Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change around substance use, work, or relationships. That approach helps clarify values and increase readiness for action without pressure. Throughout, he keeps the work concrete - tracking progress, setting small experiments, and adjusting plans when needed.
He offers sessions in English and Spanish from his New York practice. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, a short questionnaire and scheduling step begin the process.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Roberto uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how patterns in past and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. That approach helps when anger shows up around closeness, trust, or fear of abandonment. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to make links between thoughts, emotions, and actions. CBT supports practical experiments to test unhelpful beliefs that fuel anger and to build alternative responses that reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses when people are weighing changes in behavior, such as addressing substance use or shifting relationship habits. It helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds commitment without pressure. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That means trying short-term steps, reviewing what works, and adjusting the plan together. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people choose a quieter setting or a time that works around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress can continue between meetings.Areas of focus
