About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and anger, and brings personal life experience to her work. Her background includes long-term recovery and membership in the LGBTQIA community, which shape how she connects with people.
She began counseling later in life after personal loss and formal study led her to a Master of Counseling and the LPC credential.
Background and approach
Before moving to remote practice she worked on-site in many settings. Those roles included crisis stabilization, residential treatment for children, and programs for men and women in addiction treatment. Her style is straightforward and practical.
She mixes approaches to meet each person's needs rather than following a single method. She uses an informed consent model so people understand options and can make decisions about care. Common issues she addresses include PTSD and trauma, addiction both chemical and behavioral, depression and mood disorders, anxiety and stress, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger.
She also works with people facing neurodivergence, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image or intimacy-related concerns. Sessions aim to build skills and insight through usable tools. She draws from client-centered listening, cognitive behavior techniques, emotion-focused work, attachment ideas, and dialectical behavior strategies.
The focus is on what helps a person feel steadier and make clearer choices. Joni offers services in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. Online work can help people notice patterns in how they connect and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and offers concrete exercises to test new habits. CBT tools often transfer well to video or text formats through worksheets and short skills practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joni will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, temperament, and the issues they bring. That plan can change as progress is made so the work remains practical and focused on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options let people keep momentum and use therapy in ways that fit their daily life.
