About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and PTSD, addiction recovery, mood concerns such as depression, and a wide range of related issues including anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles.
She combines practical counseling methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions use clear informed consent so clients know what to expect. Joni draws on decades of personal and clinical experience, including long-term recovery from addiction and work in crisis and residential settings.
Her background includes supporting people impacted by domestic violence, running programs for both men and women in outpatient and residential addiction care, and work in children’s residential services and crisis stabilization. That on-site experience shaped how she conducts remote work later in her career.
Joni identifies as part of the LGBTQIA community and as neurodivergent; she includes that perspective in her clinical work. She emphasizes straightforward communication, practical tools, and helping people regain control over everyday problems like anger, grief, and burnout.
Her approach pulls from attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior concepts, and emotionally-focused methods. Sessions typically explore patterns, coping strategies, and realistic steps people can try between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking and better ways of handling frustration and strong feelings.
How sessions work
How Joni’s approaches translate to online sessions
Joni often uses cognitive behavioral techniques which help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical habits for handling anger, anxiety, and mood symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.She also draws from attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships influence current reactions, and from client-centered work which prioritizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what they want to change. These approaches can help with relationship strain, intimacy-related problems, and chronic patterns of blame or withdrawal.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adjust the focus based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and often includes experimenting with skills and reviewing what works in daily life.
