About Hector

Hector Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He brings 17 years of experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Hector speaks English and Spanish and creates a straightforward, respectful space for people to talk about what feels hard.

He uses clear, practical methods so conversations lead to change. Hector listens closely and helps clients name patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

He offers tools to manage strong emotions, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and improve communication in close relationships. Hector often supports people facing blended family questions, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and multicultural concerns. He also addresses codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and struggles with process addictions such as porn, exercise, or gambling.

These topics are discussed in direct, manageable steps during sessions. People who work with him can expect a collaborative style. He values honest talk and practical homework between sessions.

The approach is aimed at helping clients feel more confident and steady in daily life. Therapy can feel like a big step, and Hector acknowledges that. He guides clients through the early stages and helps set realistic goals.

Sessions are offered in formats that fit different schedules and lifestyles.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and helps clients identify what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Hector works with clients to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. He discusses options and adjusts strategies based on progress and preferences. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can handle.

Online therapy makes consistent care easier through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to meet from home or between tasks, which helps maintain momentum. Remote formats also make it simpler to practice new skills in real life and check in more often when needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
