About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of life transitions.
Background and approach
He works with clients facing addiction, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and career challenges, as well as issues tied to abandonment and isolation. Fluent in English and Spanish, he provides support for LGBT-related concerns and parenting or family struggles.
His approach is collaborative and strengths-based, honoring each person’s knowledge and resources while offering guidance to build practical coping skills. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and incorporates attachment-informed perspectives to understand patterns in relationships.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also used to help clients identify goals, stay engaged, and develop workable steps forward. Based in New York and licensed as an LMHC, Roberto aims to create a respectful environment where clients and therapist work together to clarify priorities, set measurable goals, and explore realistic solutions.
He offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and uses a subscription-based scheduling system that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Roberto integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain stress. He also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness, helping clients work through intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Roberto collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining skill-building, motivational strategies, and solution-focused steps so clients can test what works and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity while managing geographic or time constraints, and continue steady work on goals between meetings.
