Richard Robinson, LMHC

Richard Robinson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. He draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer straightforward care focused on everyday life struggles. He works in English and uses practical approaches to help clients move forward.

Richard aims to make therapy a place to talk honestly about hard things. He listens first and tailors the work to each person's situation. Sessions focus on goals like improving communication, managing stress, and building stronger coping skills.

His background includes work with people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and identity concerns within the LGBT community. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and chronic pain or illness. That range helps him spot patterns that affect mood and relationships.

Richard uses a mix of methods that fit the client and the problem. He often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies to target thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and everyday behavior. He adapts interventions so they feel practical and doable.

People who choose him will find a calm, direct style that emphasizes collaboration. He helps clients set clear, achievable steps and checks progress along the way. The goal is steady improvement in daily functioning and relationships, not quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work

Richard draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns in relationships.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and find their own answers when facing grief, identity questions, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Richard will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape session pace and the kinds of tools used.

Online work is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care during life transitions.
