Luis Roman

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people work on communication and everyday stresses. He focuses on helping clients manage anger, anxiety, depression, and issues related to relationships and addiction. Luis explains things plainly and centers conversations on practical steps people can try between sessions.

He learned about communication growing up in a Puerto Rican home where loud arguments were common and listening was rare. That personal background shaped his interest in teaching better ways to talk and listen. He uses psychoeducation to explain mental health concerns and reduce stigma, so people know what to expect and feel less overwhelmed.

Since 2016 he has worked in a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, residential programs, and Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PROS) services. He supports people navigating bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, and co-occurring mood or adjustment challenges. Luis also assists clients with employment goals and practical life planning.

His approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. In sessions he helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and set achievable goals. He aims to make therapy a straightforward place to practice new skills.

Luis holds a bachelor’s degree from Lehman College and a master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle. He practices as an LMHC in New York and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should use the site process to start matching and scheduling.

How core approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered work puts the person’s goals first, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clients clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want an understanding space to talk through communication patterns and emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it often helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood by offering concrete tools to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for stress and impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the first steps in therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting based on what works in real life rather than committing to one fixed path.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice communication skills in between activities and apply tools directly to daily situations. Licensed professionals can help adapt CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered methods to remote sessions so skills carry over into everyday life.
