About Roberto
LMHC in New York with 15 years of experience, Roberto Chia helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns. He also works with depression, addictions, ADHD, career strain, compassion fatigue, and isolation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Roberto takes a collaborative, practical approach. He does not offer ready-made answers. Instead he talks with clients about what’s happening, identifies specific problems, and sets clear goals together. Sessions focus on finding workable steps and building skills that fit day-to-day life.
His work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Those methods are used to understand patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. He frames therapy as a process of testing options and adjusting plans.
Roberto emphasizes clients’ strengths and lived experience. He avoids telling people what to do each session. He offers questions, feedback, and structured tools so clients can make decisions that feel right to them. Progress is measured by practical changes rather than abstract standards.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations, goal-setting, and exercises to practice between sessions. The first meetings focus on clarifying what matters most and choosing next steps. For new clients, Roberto asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin working together.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds. It helps people understand why they react certain ways in close relationships and supports learning new interaction patterns that feel safer and more predictable.Client-centered practice focuses on the client’s viewpoint and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name priorities so goals come from the client’s values and choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with alternatives. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress because it includes doable exercises and concrete behavior changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Roberto will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time as progress is tracked and plans are adjusted.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or using audio-only meetings when video is not practical. The focus is on making therapy usable around work, caregiving, and other commitments rather than requiring a particular setup.
