About Robert
Robert Hendel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He has ten years of professional experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone worried and unsure.
Robert focuses on building a calm, open space for talking. He encourages straightforward conversation about what feels hard right now. Sessions include practical steps and pacing that match what each person can handle.
How Robert works
Over a decade of practice has given him experience with related concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, aging challenges, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Money and life-purpose worries are part of his work too.
Robert uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. He listens for patterns in relationships and day-to-day habits, then tries small, useful changes that can reduce distress. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better day-to-day functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client. He supports people through the early steps and onward progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Robert uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stressful situations; this helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood by building more effective habits. Another approach targets processing traumatic or painful memories in a paced way so those memories become less overwhelming and disruptive to daily life.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, current struggles, and past attempts at change, then recommend options and adjust them over time. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the client feel steadier and more capable.
Online therapy with Robert uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular work possible around a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller discussion. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a brief check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep progressing between sessions.
