About Richard
Richard Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship problems, grief, and ADHD. He works with people who want practical tools and clearer direction amid emotional overwhelm.
Richard keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens first, then helps clients identify small changes that make daily life easier. He uses plain language and concrete steps instead of jargon, so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps.
Background and approach
In therapy he blends client-centered care with structured techniques. That means clients set the goals and he offers methods to reach them, such as skills for managing strong emotions or changing unhelpful thought patterns. The work can include coping skills for stress, strategies for communication, and ways to reduce addictive behaviors.
Richard often helps people sort through painful relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. He also supports those dealing with loss, chronic health challenges, or long-standing attachment issues. Sessions pay attention to how past experiences affect present choices and to practical steps for feeling steadier day to day.
People who prefer a calm, direct style tend to find his approach useful. He aims for realistic plans and steady progress, with attention to both emotional understanding and real-world change. New clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session to get started.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client sets the pace and goals; the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the client's concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggests one or a mix of methods to try. Clients and the therapist assess what works over time and adjust the plan together to match changing needs.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people connect face to face from different places, phone sessions require less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit into busy schedules or support ongoing tracking between meetings. These options help people maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family obligations, and try therapy in a format that feels manageable.
