01About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 18 years of experience to her practice in Texas. She chose counseling after heavy personal losses and long recovery, and she uses that life experience alongside clinical skills to help people move forward. Her work is straightforward and practical, aimed at people facing intense stress, mood struggles, grief, or addiction.
She describes her style as flexible and collaborative. Sessions focus on what the person needs that week - skills for managing strong emotions, steps to reduce harmful behaviors, or time to process painful memories.
Background and approach
She favors clear explanations so clients know what to expect and can make informed choices about their care. Joni draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Attachment-based and emotionally-focused methods help when relationships or past hurts shape current problems. Dialectical behavior tools are brought in for emotion regulation and coping skills. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence survivors, and both outpatient and residential addiction services.
She also has experience in children’s residential settings and crisis stabilization. That mix of clinical and lived experience informs how she plans treatment with each person. Sessions are offered in English and Joni accepts international clients.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, PTSD and trauma, addictions, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, body image concerns, and many intimacy or relationship-related issues. She encourages questions about approach and pacing during early sessions.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions. Online sessions use conversation and focused exercises to notice patterns and try different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and mistrust.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot negative thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this often includes short between-session tasks and step-by-step skill practice to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or problematic coping.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift painful emotions that keep them stuck. Through guided conversation and reflective exercises, clients learn new ways to respond to strong feelings and improve emotional connection with themselves and others.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is seen and needs change, so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel most like in-person work and allow visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief skill coaching, or use shorter touchpoints when that fits best.
