About Richard

Richard Robinson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings seven years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional challenges such as depression, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

His practice emphasizes attentive listening and an individualized plan that reflects each person's history and current priorities. Richard blends evidence-informed methods with a compassionate stance to support growth in areas like communication, self-worth, intimacy, and coping with stress.

He creates a safe space for clients to examine patterns, build practical skills, and pursue clearer life direction. Throughout his work he aims to be collaborative, tailoring strategies to fit a client’s values and the realities of everyday life.

Clients can expect an approach that balances practical interventions with attention to meaning and personal goals. Richard offers multiple ways to connect and structures treatment around what is most helpful for each individual, whether the focus is on symptom relief, relationship repair, or long-term change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Richard uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy as core ways of working. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and attention-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, offering space for clients to explore values, identity, and interpersonal concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Richard works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He can integrate skill-building and reflective work so treatment fits both immediate concerns and longer-term personal aims.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to arrange appointments around busy schedules and to continue care from different locations within the therapist's practice area. These options allow clients to engage in treatment in ways that suit their communication style and daily life while maintaining consistent progress over time.
