About Roberto
Roberto Chia is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. He also works with issues like addiction, ADHD, anger, and feelings of isolation.
He uses clear, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on immediate concerns first, then build toward longer-term change. Roberto treats clients as partners rather than passive recipients of advice.
Background and approach
Roberto blends several therapeutic approaches to suit the individual. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds influence current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term change and goal setting. These methods are useful for building momentum, solving specific problems, and staying motivated through difficult steps. With 15 years in the field, he brings steady experience across a range of concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People connect by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on their needs and schedules.

Online approaches that fit your schedule
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps when relationship worries, intimacy issues, or feelings of abandonment come up in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented method that helps people find their reasons for change and stay motivated during transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roberto will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. This is a shared process where goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when it helps to see expressions. Phone sessions work when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied comfort levels.
