About Robert
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with 10 years of experience, Robert Hendel helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Robert speaks English and practices in New York.
Robert creates a conversational setting where people can talk about difficult feelings. He encourages open discussion of thoughts and memories and helps clients notice patterns that affect mood and behavior. Sessions emphasize clear strategies rather than medical jargon.
His work also addresses related concerns such as chronic pain and illness, attachment issues, loneliness and isolation, and panic symptoms. He supports people dealing with life purpose questions, money stress, and mood disorders in addition to grief work and trauma processing.
Over a decade of clinical work has shaped his approach into one that balances short-term problem solving with deeper emotional work when needed. He helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress each session. That practical focus aims to reduce overwhelm and make therapy feel manageable.
To begin, Robert asks people to describe what feels most urgent and what they hope to change. From there he and the client choose techniques and steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on collaboration, honest feedback, and steady progress over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include brief cognitive and behavioral methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood, and often use short exercises to practice between sessions.Trauma-informed approaches help people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life. These approaches combine talk-based work with grounding and pacing to make difficult material more manageable and to lower reactivity over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will discuss different techniques with the client and choose methods together based on needs, goals, and what feels workable. That collaborative process helps match methods to the person rather than imposing a single style.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. When online sessions are offered, they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For practical reasons some people prefer a phone call when bandwidth is limited or a video meeting when visual cues are helpful; clarify which formats he provides when you book.
