About Richard
Richard Robinson is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. He helps adults who are facing depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and concerns common in young adulthood such as stress, identity and intimacy-related problems.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions are aimed at understanding what is happening now, naming patterns, and trying small changes that can shift daily life. He uses everyday language and keeps plans concrete so people can test what works between sessions.
Richard draws on several established approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He also brings motivational interviewing and existential ideas into the work when they fit the person’s goals. These methods are used to address things like addictive behaviors, relationship communication, and managing intense emotions.
People often come for help with workplace stress, difficulties after a breakup, trouble concentrating, or repeating relationship patterns. He also supports people exploring sexual identity and intimate life concerns. Sessions typically involve setting short-term goals and checking small steps toward them each week.
Richard works in English and practices in New York. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site flow that connects to his profile.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Richard draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it helps with clarity about values, relationships, and direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to test strategies, discuss what helps, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. The aim is to choose approaches that fit the client's life and problems rather than forcing a single model.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or reduce the need to travel. Many people use remote sessions to stay consistent when juggling school, early career demands, or shifting housing situations. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and skill practice for use between sessions so small changes can be tried in everyday life.
