About Luis

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people improve how they talk and connect with others. He focuses on communication skills that can ease stress in relationships and day-to-day life. His work often addresses intimacy-related issues and other concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction.

He uses straightforward teaching to explain mental health and reduce stigma. That means people leave sessions with clearer ideas about diagnoses and practical steps they can try. Luis draws on six years of clinical experience to tailor plans to each person’s needs.

His background includes work in outpatient clinics, residential programs, and PROS services. He has supported people managing bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use concerns, grief, trauma, and related challenges. He also helps with relationship and family communication problems without assuming a one-size-fits-all solution.

Luis combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice small changes that make daily life more manageable. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used when clients want clear goals and momentum.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from Lehman College and a master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle. He practices in New York and works in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations so they can name priorities and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals and daily routine. That process may combine listening-centered techniques with CBT exercises or short solution-focused steps when people want quick, achievable changes.

Confirm the currently available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose audio-only meetings if they prefer less bandwidth or a quieter setup. Luis aims to help clients use whatever session structure works best for their life and goals.
