About Roberto

Roberto Chia is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, addictions, ADHD, and related concerns such as abandonment and isolation.

Background and approach

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are and acknowledging their strengths rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all answers. His work often focuses on practical coping strategies and achievable goals tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Grounded in attachment-informed thinking and client-centered values, Roberto blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods with motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns, build new skills, and take concrete steps toward change. He emphasizes respectful partnership, helping clients clarify what matters most to them, set priorities, and experiment with approaches that fit their life.

Sessions may explore emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and problem-solving strategies while honoring each person’s experience and resilience.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection. In online sessions this approach can help people explore relational habits, repair interpersonal ruptures, and increase emotional awareness in ways that apply to current partnerships and social contexts.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and fosters a nonjudgmental space where the individual’s values and goals guide the work. Delivered remotely, this style supports building trust, clarifying priorities, and strengthening self-directed problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior by introducing practical skills and experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning. CBT can be especially useful online for structured skill practice, homework, and focused problem-solving around anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine elements from different models and evolve as progress is made.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home or a convenient location, and use a mix of synchronous and asynchronous contact to support ongoing skill practice and check-ins.
