About Luis

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people improve how they communicate. He aims to make conversations clearer and less stressful so daily life and relationships feel more manageable. Luis writes and talks simply about mental health so clients can understand what’s happening and what to do next.

He learned early that family patterns shape how people connect. That upbringing led him to emphasize practical communication skills in sessions. He uses teachings that help people spot their own patterns and try different ways of talking and listening.

Over six years he has worked in a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, residential programs, and PROS services. He has supported people facing mood challenges, anxiety, ADHD, substance use concerns, and trauma-related issues. He also helps with relationship strain, codependency, grief, and work-related stress.

Luis draws on several straightforward therapeutic methods to guide sessions. He blends client-centered conversations with cognitive tools and mindfulness practices so people can test new habits between meetings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used to set realistic goals and keep progress moving.

He completed a Bachelor’s degree at Lehman College and a Master’s degree at the College of New Rochelle. He practices in New York and sees clients in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and times to match their needs.

Practical approaches for online conversations

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and their experience. Sessions prioritize listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them steer conversation toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and improve focus during tense conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative stance means methods can shift as needs evolve and short practical steps are emphasized early on.

Confirm current online session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice communication skills in their real-life routines and bring workplace or family scheduling into the way sessions are planned.
