About Hector

Hector Roman brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy, often drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

He combines CBT with client-centered techniques to create a collaborative space where clients' experiences guide the work, and he also integrates skills-based elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are needed. Hector is identified as an LMHC licensed in Washington and has 17 years of professional experience.

His practice centers on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Hector also supports people navigating blended family dynamics, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, fatherhood-related questions, and challenges like infidelity, loneliness, jealousy, and midlife transition.

He has experience addressing multicultural concerns, non-monogamous relationship arrangements, process addictions, forgiveness work, and exploration of life purpose and self-love. Hector offers a respectful, nonjudgmental environment that emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building.

He encourages clients to take the initial step, noting that starting therapy requires courage, and then works alongside them to set goals and develop strategies that fit their life and values.

Bringing CBT and Client-Centered Care to Online Therapy

Hector frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thinking that contribute to stress and anxiety and to practice concrete behavioral changes that support mood and functioning. He also relies on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective, using empathic listening to shape goals and the pace of work. When intense emotions or interpersonal conflict are present, he may draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and relationship strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hector works with each person to assess needs, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on goals and personal preferences. This flexible stance helps clients find which combination of tools and conversation best supports their progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy schedules or limited local options. With video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access sessions from different settings and select the format that fits their communication style. The range of formats supports ongoing skill practice and consistent contact, making it easier to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
