About Joni

Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of experience. She became a counselor later in life after personal loss and long recovery from addiction, and she brings that lived experience into her work. Joni describes herself as someone who listens closely and guides people toward clearer choices.

Her background includes on-site roles with domestic violence survivors, addiction programs in outpatient and residential settings, children's residential care, and crisis stabilization.

Background and approach

That experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can use between appointments. Joni uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.

She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and client-centered practices to address emotional patterns and coping skills. She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy when needed.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating and body image issues, and caregiver strain. Additional focuses listed include abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, and neurodiversity concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Joni accepts international clients. Her lived recovery and membership in the LGBTQIA community inform her empathic approach. She emphasizes informed consent so people understand the methods and can take an active role in their care.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and the patterns that keep people stuck. Online sessions using EFT help people name and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and self-worth. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps people notice how attachment patterns show up in stress, intimacy, and caregiving. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and choices, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and decide on next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's needs, goals, and comfort level. This is a joint process and adjustments are made together as progress and preferences emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and practice new interaction patterns. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can help people stay connected between sessions, share quick updates, or use writing as a way to process thoughts. These formats make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
