About Joni Rodriguez
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to work with individuals facing trauma, addiction, mood disorders, relationship struggles, and a wide range of life challenges. She combines formal training with deep lived experience - including the loss of a spouse to suicide and long-term recovery from substance use - to create an empathetic, informed approach that meets clients where they are.
She completed a Master of Counseling program and later earned her LPC credential, and her background includes extensive on-site work with domestic violence survivors, outpatient and residential addiction programs for both men and women, children’s residential services, and crisis stabilization. Those roles shaped her ability to support people through grief, PTSD and trauma, depression, compulsive behaviors, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting and blended family concerns, and many other concerns listed among her specialties.
Joni integrates multiple therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person, drawing from attachment-based work, client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and emotionally focused techniques. She is a recovering addict with nearly nineteen years clean time and remains active in twelve-step recovery. As a member of the LGBTQIA community and as a neurodivergent clinician, she prioritizes understanding identity, neurodiversity, and the complex contexts that shape a person’s story. Joni offers remote therapy options and works with international clients as part of her practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Joni Rodriguez integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and important relationships shape emotional patterns and coping strategies - it helps when difficulties in trust, intimacy, or attachment impact current relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and strengths, offering a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, compulsive patterns, and stress-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Joni works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment as progress unfolds. Clients are active partners in planning care and deciding what feels most useful.
Online therapy with Joni uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow clients and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change.
