Jesus Robles, LCSW

Jesus Robles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 17 years of professional experience. He draws on ego psychology to help clients make sense of internal conflicts and habitual ways of coping, combining that perspective with evidence-based techniques to illuminate how thought patterns influence emotions and behavior.

His work is integrative, focusing on strengthening clients' adaptive capacities by identifying and addressing irrational beliefs and maladaptive coping strategies. Through targeted conversations and practical interventions, he guides people toward clearer thinking and healthier responses to stressors encountered in daily life.

Robles has held roles including Program Coordinator at Mount Sinai Morningside and Associate Program Director at the Institute for Family Health, where he contributed to program development, clinical supervision, and quality improvement initiatives. That background informs a therapeutic approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and resilience while attending to concrete changes that support better functioning.

Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at increasing self-understanding and building more effective coping skills, with treatment tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Virtual Care

Jesus Robles uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change reactions and behaviors. CBT is structured and goal-oriented, and it is often useful for addressing issues such as mood concerns, problematic coping strategies, and relationship difficulties.

He also applies concepts from ego psychology to explore how internal defenses and coping styles shape day-to-day responses. This perspective can be helpful for understanding long-standing patterns of behavior and building greater self-awareness and adaptive functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Robles works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These formats offer flexibility and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible care for people who need support from different locations or with varying time constraints.
