Richard Robinson, LMHC

Richard Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with seven years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship patterns, intimacy issues, and family of origin matters.

He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is happening now and what came before. He talks with people about how childhood roles and expectations still shape current behavior and relationships. Conversations are practical and aim to clarify repeating patterns and options for change.

Richard uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on client-centered work to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. He also integrates elements of existential therapy and motivational interviewing where those fit the goals.

In sessions he helps people build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and address issues like codependency, commitment worries, and intimacy-related struggles. He also supports people dealing with grief, ADHD-related difficulties, chronic illness, and complex relationship histories.

People who come to him often want to understand how family dynamics influence current stress and relationship choices. He explains options, practices concrete skills, and revisits progress over time so goals can be adjusted as needed.
