Richard Robinson, LMHC

Richard Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and trauma.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions begin with straightforward conversation about what is most urgent. He listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and behavior, then works with clients to set small, achievable goals.

His day-to-day approach uses practical, evidence-informed tools. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, practicing skills to manage strong feelings, or trying new ways to handle conflict. He aims to keep techniques simple so clients can use them between sessions.

Richard pays attention to life transitions and identity questions. He supports people dealing with grief, stress, ADHD, issues related to intimacy, and challenges that come with aging or health problems. He also addresses concerns connected to kink and alternative sexual cultures in a nonjudgmental way.

Clients describe the work as focused on clearer communication, better coping strategies, and more reliable routines. The therapist encourages steady progress rather than fast fixes. If you want practical steps to change patterns and feel steadier, he helps map the way forward.

Approaches that work well for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through life changes, identity questions, or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to reduce depressive thinking, manage anxiety, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for handling intense emotions and improving regulation, which can be useful for chronic stress, self-control challenges, and relationship reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to test what helps most, mixing listening with skill work and goal-setting based on your needs and preferences. That collaboration shapes what the sessions focus on over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations also make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to practice skills between sessions.
