About Luis

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with six years of experience. He helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. He also works with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life changes that affect daily functioning.

Luis focuses on communication skills as a path to easier relationships at home. He grew up in a Puerto Rican household where raised voices and limited listening shaped his interest in better ways of connecting. That early experience led him to emphasize clear speaking, active listening, and understanding patterns that keep conflict repeating.

He uses straightforward teaching about mental health to reduce confusion and stigma. Luis draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. Sessions often include practical strategies you can try between meetings.

His background includes work in PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient clinics. He has helped people build individualized plans that include goals for mental health and work, and supported efforts to maintain employment.

Luis earned a Bachelor’s degree from Lehman College and a Master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle. He currently practices in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx and offers services in English.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on understanding your goals and reflecting what matters to you. It helps when people need someone to listen and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luis will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow sessions during breaks or evenings. It can also let people use mindfulness and CBT exercises where they live and act on skills between appointments.
