Luis Roman , LMHC

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. He brings a deep interest in improving how people connect with one another, shaped in part by growing up in a Puerto Rican household where raised voices were common and active listening was less present. That early experience inspired a career focus on communication skills and healthier family and intimate relationships.

He emphasizes psychoeducation to demystify mental health diagnoses and reduce stigma, helping people understand conditions and how treatment can support recovery. Since 2016, he has provided individual, family, and group services for concerns such as bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and adjustment disorders, and he often works with clients facing co-occurring substance use challenges.

His background includes work across PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient settings, where he has helped people develop personalized treatment plans, pursue employment goals, and navigate complex family dynamics. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Lehman College and a Master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle, and he currently practices in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx. Luis remains committed to promoting mental well-being by combining practical skills training with compassionate, strengths-based care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Luis Roman uses evidence-informed methods to guide online work in ways that are practical and client-focused. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own goals; it creates space for people to explore values, improve communication, and strengthen relationships at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and help manage cravings, distress, and emotional dysregulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess needs, set goals, and adjust techniques so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method. That flexibility helps tailor treatment for relationship, addiction, mood, and family challenges.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more accessible around work schedules, family commitments, and geographic constraints. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that fit daily life. Note that he is not currently accepting new clients.
