About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She lists PTSD and trauma, addiction, depression, and mood concerns among her main clinical focuses. Joni also notes work around stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family issues, ADHD, and related challenges.
She uses a mix of counseling techniques to fit each client. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered approaches, Attachment-Based ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Joni says she works from informed consent so people understand their options and what to expect.
Her life experience shapes her approach. She completed a Master of Counseling after personal loss and holds an LPC. She also shares that she is a person in long-term recovery from addiction and is active in 12-step recovery, and that she is part of the LGBTQIA community and neurodivergent.
Earlier work included onsite roles with domestic violence survivors, addiction services in outpatient and residential settings, children’s residential care, and crisis stabilization. That background informs how she talks through safety, coping, and next steps with people.
Her style is practical and straightforward. She helps people talk through what feels most pressing, pick strategies that match their life, and track small changes over time. To begin, the site matching process and scheduling are used to book a first session.
How Joni’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how past attachments affect current reactions. It helps people understand loyalty conflicts, trust, and closeness issues that often appear in blended households. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. That can be useful for stress, anxiety, and everyday conflicts. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joni will discuss what feels most relevant, try techniques that fit the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to find methods that make sense for the person’s life and current problems rather than imposing a single model. Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use strategies learned in therapy in their real-life routines that same day. If international scheduling or time zones matter, note that she does accept international clients and plan appointments accordingly.Areas of expertise
