About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of clinical experience. She draws on personal and professional experience to support people facing strong emotions and difficult life events. Joni uses clear explanations and practical tools so parents can make steady changes at home.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She also addresses intimacy challenges, self-esteem, eating issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Joni brings lived experience with loss and recovery to her conversations, and she is a member of the LGBTQIA community. In session she blends evidence-based practices to match each person’s needs. That means sessions can include skills practice, talking through painful memories, and exploring patterns that affect relationships.
Joni favors straightforward language and concrete steps parents can try between meetings. Her background includes counseling in settings such as domestic violence services, addiction treatment, children’s residential programs, and crisis stabilization. Joni holds a Master of Counseling and the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and practices from Texas.
Joni offers online formats for people who need flexible options. She accepts English-language clients and will work with international clients when arrangements allow. To begin, a family member or individual completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the listed process.
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in close connections and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase trust.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and supports clients as they name what matters and choose steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents can choose what works best. These formats offer flexibility for follow-up, brief check-ins, and regular sessions when in-person care is not practical.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
