More about Roberto
- 10 years' experience

- LMHC
I am a national certified counselor (NBCC) and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I have been working in the field of mental health counseling for eight years, helping people from different backgrounds as they struggle with anxiety, depression, grief after losses, couples issues and stress and trauma-related disorders. I consider it a privilege to work supporting people as they face life's challenges, providing emotional support, and working collaboratively to learn positive ways to cope and to find appropriate solutions. This means that I do not presume to have all the answers but I can work with you to help you find them. Nor I see my role as a counselor as someone who has to give you advice in every session. Instead, I respect and acknowledge my clients as people with strengths, experiences and emotional and intellectual intelligences who have the capacity to find solutions with the appropriate support and collaboration. Together we will explore your current situation, identify specific issues you want to work on, set goals and explore solutions.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Roberto has helped me through many insecurities and I'm genuinely happier after many months of therapy.
He gets me. He gets my golden silence. He gets it.
I've seen several therapists over the years, and no one compares to Roberto! He has helped me greatly to understand myself better and practice self-kindness. He always considers who I am as an individual when giving insights and suggesting coping skills. I'm so thankful to be able to work with him!
Mr. Chia is great with communication, remembering specific details, and recommending good coping mechanisms.
Roberto is a very kind and understanding therapist. He listens well and assists me in reflecting upon and understanding myself. He provides prompting for coping mechanisms as well as helps identify triggers. I always feel better at the end of a session than before.
He listens well, respects strengths, helps weaknesses grow. He provides prospective when you may lack it, but validates your own experiences/perspective; and generally guides you towards healthly patterns. He presents himself in an equally personable and professional demeanor.
He’s very understanding and flexible and knows just what to say so help your thoughts understand why they exist.
Roberto is a good person who I believe genuinely cares about me.
