About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She draws on long personal and professional experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and mood concerns. Joni is a member of the LGBTQIA community and identifies as neurodivergent, which informs her understanding of diverse life paths.
She uses practical, down-to-earth strategies in sessions. Joni listens first, then tailors tools to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations may include skill building, thought work, or ways to manage overwhelming feelings between appointments. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, addiction treatment in outpatient and residential settings, crisis stabilization, and children's residential care. Years of recovery and lived experience with loss also shape how she supports others facing similar challenges.
Joni offers a collaborative, informed consent style of care that explains options and the reasons behind them. She blends approaches rather than following one strict method, choosing what fits each person's goals and situation. Sessions focus on clear steps and real-life coping strategies.
People often come for help with relationships, parenting stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career strain. Joni aims to make therapy simple to understand and easy to use. She accepts sessions in English and works with clients in Texas and beyond.
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and connection needs. It helps people understand attachment styles and practice new ways of relating in close relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and choices. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and supports each person in finding their own solutions for stress, identity, or life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build better routines for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joni will talk with clients about goals and preferences, and together they'll choose methods that feel useful. She adapts techniques over time if a different skill or focus would help more.
Online sessions give flexibility for people with busy schedules or distance barriers. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or recovery routines while keeping care consistent.
