About Robert
Robert Hendel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and problems with motivation and confidence. Robert’s work also notes a focus on social anxiety and phobia among other mood and anxiety concerns.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps to try between meetings. He aims to make it easier to talk about hard topics and to practice new ways of responding when anxiety or grief comes up.
Robert draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide his work. He checks in on progress and adjusts methods to match what helps most. Sessions include time for reflecting on recent situations, practicing coping strategies, and planning manageable actions.
People come to him for panic attacks, persistent worry, trauma reactions, and difficulties with self-worth. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, life transitions, and feelings of isolation. The focus is on clear, practical tools that can be used in daily life.
He works in English and is based in New York. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Robert explains the session structure and subscription details when people are ready to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Robert uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety - it breaks down anxious moments into manageable parts and teaches specific coping tools for panic and worry. Another approach looks at trauma responses with structured discussion and pacing so memories and reactions can be addressed without becoming overwhelming.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit those goals. Adjustments are made along the way based on what the client notices is helpful.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone use audio-only sessions when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can explain how a particular format would work for practical concerns and daily routines.
