About Luis
Luis Roman is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as grief, trauma, and intimacy-related problems. Luis works with adults dealing with life changes and communication struggles in blended households.
He grew up in a Puerto Rican home where loud arguments were common and listening was rare. That background shaped his interest in teaching clearer communication. In practice he uses straightforward psychoeducation to explain diagnoses and reduce stigma, so people better understand what they are facing.
Luis commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical goals and encourage small changes that build momentum. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and anxiety when appropriate.
His experience includes work in Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PROS) programs, residential facilities, and outpatient clinics. He has supported people living with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, substance use concerns, and co-occurring conditions, helping them create treatment plans and pursue employment goals.
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 provides services in English for adults navigating relationship and family transitions.
Therapeutic approaches used and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions; it helps when communication and self-understanding are the main concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change reactions that harm relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to explore readiness for change and strengthen commitment to specific actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans together with the client. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs and the blended household challenges they bring.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the profile does not state specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. They also let someone choose a quieter moment on a work break or avoid being on camera for parts of a session. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help clients maintain steady progress while balancing family responsibilities.
