About Luis

Luis Roman is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people improve communication, manage stress, and navigate emotional challenges. He emphasizes practical strategies clients can use in everyday interactions, teaching skills that strengthen relationships and clarify personal goals.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, Luis blends skill-building with education about common mental health concerns to make symptoms easier to understand and address. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to tailor care to each person's needs, and incorporates mindfulness and motivational techniques when useful.

His background includes work in PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient settings, where he has supported people with mood disorders, ADHD, substance use concerns, and co-occurring conditions.

Luis earned 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, New York as an LMHC (NY LMHC 010355).

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Luis integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to help clients develop practical skills and clearer self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered methods emphasize the client’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting to build motivation and self-directed change.

He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy when appropriate, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings. Throughout the process he approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single technique up front.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in ways that fit a client’s daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in real time between sessions, while allowing therapists and clients to adapt the pace and style of work to individual circumstances.
