About Joni Rodriguez
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience supporting adults through PTSD and trauma, addiction (both substance-related and behavioral), depression, and other mood concerns. She draws from multiple counseling methods and tailors the work to each person, integrating approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside person-centered, reality-based, and narrative-informed strategies to help clients build practical skills, strengthen insight, and move toward meaningful change.
Her path into counseling began later in life after experiencing profound personal loss and grief. That experience shaped her commitment to helping others navigate overwhelming emotions and difficult transitions, and it led her to earn a Master of Counseling degree and become an LPC, a credential that indicates state licensure to provide professional counseling services. Joni also brings lived experience related to recovery and values an informed-consent style of therapy that emphasizes understanding options and collaborating on goals, with the belief that knowledge supports empowerment.
Before moving into remote-based work, Joni built extensive in-person experience across a range of settings, including services for domestic violence survivors, outpatient and residential addiction treatment for men and women, children’s residential programs, and crisis stabilization. She offers therapy in English and welcomes clients seeking support for concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, anger, parenting, career concerns, coping with life changes, and more.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Joni Rodriguez integrates evidence-informed methods that can be effective in online therapy while keeping the work tailored to each client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be a strong fit for clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, struggle with impulsive behaviors, or want more tools for navigating relationship conflict.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape safety, trust, and connection. It can be helpful for trauma histories, intimacy concerns, and recurring relationship patterns, especially when clients want to understand why certain dynamics keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joni collaborates with clients to clarify needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts the pacing and tools so therapy feels relevant and workable.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay engaged even during travel, transitions, or demanding weeks.
