About Roberta

LMHC Roberta Davis is a New York LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of other issues listed in her specialties. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Roberta draws on years spent as a school counselor, social worker, primary therapist, and psychology professor. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical steps. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, learning coping skills, and addressing immediate problems that interfere with daily life.

People come to her for help with parenting challenges, grief, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, substance issues, attention and concentration struggles, and difficulties tied to chronic illness or life transitions. She also supports those coping with identity and discrimination stress, adoption and foster care issues, and end-of-life matters.

Her work typically involves listening to the client’s story, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying interventions that aim to change unhelpful habits. She combines clinical experience with teaching background to explain concepts plainly and practice new skills during sessions. Outcomes depend on the issue and the person’s engagement.

To begin, Roberta asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Roberta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which focus on teaching practical skills and changing patterns that keep problems going. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps when symptoms are disruptive to daily routines.

Another frequent element is trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult events at a pace they can tolerate. This usually involves careful pacing, safety planning within sessions, and exercises to reduce the intensity of painful memories so that daily functioning improves.

Finding the right way to work is collaborative. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, preferences, and current challenges and then try approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy proceeds so the approach stays useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In practice, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and comfort level before scheduling.
