About Ivette
Dr. Ivette Rodriguez is a Texas psychologist with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. In sessions she helps people name their emotions, notice patterns in close relationships, and try new ways of responding when old reactions stop working.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical skills. She will help a client recognize what keeps them stuck, practice different ways of communicating, and build routines that reduce stress. For relationship concerns she focuses on the emotional interactions that keep partners caught in the same arguments.
Dr. Rodriguez pays attention to cultural background and how identity shapes experience. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, body image concerns, abandonment fears, and issues around commitment and infidelity. She also helps with career stress, impulse control, and feelings of emptiness.
People who choose her can expect a mix of short-term strategies and deeper emotional work. Sessions combine listening, reflective feedback, and guided exercises to help clients make changes that matter in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples identify and name the emotions that drive their reactions. EFT focuses on the emotional bonds and recurring interaction patterns that often keep problems active. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match personal values and goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and recent attachment experiences shape expectations in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is often a process. She works collaboratively with each person to weigh what feels most useful based on goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying work-focused skills, emotion-focused sessions, or a mix, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Practical online details should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to include partners who live apart or to fit therapy into a workday. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling steps when you arrange the first appointment.
