About Roberta

Roberta Davis brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work in New York.

Background and approach

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has served in roles ranging from school counselor and social worker to primary therapist and psychology professor, and she draws on that varied background when supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, and other mental health challenges.

Roberta emphasizes collaborative work that centers the clients goals and values, inviting open conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment. She has particular familiarity with issues such as parenting and family conflict, LGBT and gender-related concerns, addiction and coping with life changes, as well as complex presentations including mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and somatic symptoms.

Roberta aims to help clients build practical coping strategies, clarify priorities, and move toward a more satisfying life. Her practice accepts session formats that fit different schedules and preferences, and she supports people navigating multicultural, immigration, end-of-life, and chronic illness issues alongside more common mental health struggles.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Roberta uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and make meaningful changes, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Another frequently used method emphasizes processing trauma and building safety and coping strategies for those recovering from abuse or significant losses, supporting emotional regulation and gradual exposure when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with clients to clarify goals, review what has helped in the past, and adjust methods over time so the care aligns with personal values, circumstances, and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow people to fit treatment into busy schedules and access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, ongoing skill practice between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
