About Joni

Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She lists work with trauma and PTSD, addiction, depression and mood disorders among her main areas of focus. Her profile also notes family and parenting concerns, as well as a broad range of related issues such as grief, anxiety, stress, and relationship strain.

Rodriguez draws on several counseling approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered techniques alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ideas. She describes using an informed consent model and explains options so people can make clear choices about care.

Her background includes many years of onsite work in settings such as addiction treatment for men and women, residential care for children, domestic violence services, and crisis stabilization. Rodriguez also speaks from lived experience: she is in long-term recovery and is part of the LGBTQIA community. Those perspectives inform how she talks about loss, addiction, and identity in sessions.

In practice she aims for direct, practical conversations about what is causing strain at home. Sessions may include skill-building from CBT, attention to attachment patterns, and talking through how family roles affect everyday life. She invites people to clarify goals and to review options before committing to a plan.

People interested in starting are asked to use the site matching tools to schedule a first session. Rodriguez offers services in English and accepts international clients, and session fees vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections. Online work can explore patterns of closeness, boundaries, and trust so people can change how they relate at home. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions she might teach practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, or addictive urges and use homework to practice new responses between meetings.

Choosing an approach is a team process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan and checks in about what helps most for daily life and parenting demands.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into busy schedules, let them avoid travel, and make shorter check-ins possible during a work break or between caregiving tasks. Online sessions also let the therapist use worksheets, skill coaching, and verbal processing in ways that translate directly from in-person work. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and CBT tools so they work with the time and routines you have.
