About Richard
Richard Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and anxiety. He also lists ADHD, grief, LGBT concerns, and blended family issues among his focus areas.
His style is practical and conversational. Sessions center on what a person wants to change and small steps that make daily life easier. He draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the client's goals, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns.
Richard also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Motivational interviewing informs how he helps people find reasons to change and build commitment to those changes. Existential ideas shape conversations about meaning, values, and choice when those topics arise.
People often come with mixed concerns - grief with relationship strain, or anxiety with substance use. He helps sort priorities so work in sessions is manageable. He keeps interventions straightforward and action-oriented, with check-ins on progress from session to session.
Richard practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. If someone is considering therapy, he asks clients to pick one or two issues to focus on at the start and to track small, practical steps between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches you may use in online sessions
Richard commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what a person says so their own priorities guide the work. It helps clarify goals and build the working relationship needed to try new things.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to change behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Richard will discuss options with the client and agree on steps that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include mixing methods and adjusting pace as things change.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or letting someone choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals adapt methods so the work translates to the online setting.
