About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 18 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and PTSD, addiction, depression, and related mood concerns. She also addresses stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and life changes.
Rodriguez speaks plainly in sessions and uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. Sessions typically include talking through feelings, identifying patterns, and practicing concrete skills for managing emotions and behavior.
Her background includes many years working on site with people in crisis, survivors of domestic violence, residential addiction programs for men and women, children's residential settings, and crisis stabilization. She also brings lived experience with recovery from addiction and with grief after losing a spouse to suicide. Those experiences shape how she listens and how she plans next steps with clients.
Joni is a member of the LGBTQIA community and identifies as neurodivergent. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and naming emotions and relationship patterns that get repeated. It helps people who struggle to identify or talk about strong feelings and who want to shift patterns that cause pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people understand triggers around connection, loss, and trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports clearer self-understanding and decision making.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using one approach more heavily at first, then introducing skills from CBT or DBT as goals evolve.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel. Phone or video sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel logistics, and flexible timing when someone has limited time between commitments. The therapist uses the clinical approaches above to guide sessions and to help shape practical strategies that fit everyday life.
