About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She decided to become a counselor later in life after personal loss and recovery shaped her path. Joni combines life experience with formal training to guide people through painful and confusing moments.
She focuses on trauma and PTSD, addictions both chemical and behavioral, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Joni also helps with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in residential settings, crisis stabilization, and outpatient addiction programs. Joni uses an attachment-based perspective alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She adapts methods to each person so sessions match what they need that week.
Expect straightforward talk, practical skills, and attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Her lived experience includes long-term recovery from addiction, involvement in twelve-step work, membership in the LGBTQIA community, and identifying as neurodivergent. These perspectives inform how she listens and responds in session.
Joni says informed consent is important so people understand their options. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and in children’s residential care earlier in her career. That hands-on history influences her calm, steady style today.
Joni aims to help people build tools for coping, repair attachment ruptures, and make clearer choices about relationships and recovery.

How Joni’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Joni draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they connect, respond to hurt, and seek closeness. It can be useful for intimacy-related struggles, attachment issues, and repair after relational wounds.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and pace. This means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and building trust before trying tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors when someone wants concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, or coping skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust over time. Clients help set priorities and decide whether skills work, or whether to shift focus toward attachment or emotion-focused work.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
