About Luis

Luis Roman is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people improve how they talk and connect with others. He listens carefully and helps parents and individuals spot unhelpful patterns in communication. That practical focus often makes everyday interactions feel less tense and more clear.

He uses straightforward teaching to explain mental health issues and reduce stigma. Luis has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and substance use concerns since 2016.

Background and approach

He also addresses relationship and family problems by breaking down skills into simple steps that can be used at home. His background includes work in PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient clinics. That range of settings shaped his skills in building treatment plans that match each person’s goals.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Lehman College and a master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle, and he practices in New York. In sessions he blends practical strategies with supportive listening. Expect clear goals, communication skill practice, and tools for coping with stress and strong emotions.

The approach is focused on small changes that add up to better daily functioning. Luis is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. He brings six years of clinical experience and a direct, educational style to help people understand problems and take steps forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective, helping people feel heard while they work through decisions and emotions. This style is useful for building trust and improving communication in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT mixes the practical work of spotting unhelpful thoughts with step-by-step behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday problems by giving concrete skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adjust methods that match their needs and goals. That might mean using more supportive listening at first, then adding CBT tools or communication exercises when the time is right.

Online therapy in Luis's practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to practice skills in real time. The variety of formats helps people keep momentum and stay connected to a licensed professional from different locations.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
