About Joni
Joni Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She draws on both professional training and long personal experience to help people navigate grief, addiction recovery, mood struggles, and life transitions. Joni speaks plainly and offers steady support to help people name and face what feels overwhelming.
Her path to counseling began after a profound personal loss. That experience led her to earn a Master of Counseling and pursue a career focused on trauma, PTSD, and addiction.
Background and approach
She also brings nearly two decades of sobriety and active participation in 12-step recovery to her work with people facing substance and behavioral addictions. Joni uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. She often combines Existential ideas about meaning and choice with Client-Centered listening and practical Cognitive Behavioral tools.
She adapts sessions to the needs of each person and explains options as part of informed consent so clients can make clear decisions about their care. Her background includes on-site work with domestic violence survivors, residential addiction programs, children's residential care, and crisis stabilization. Those roles shaped her practical skills in safety planning, coping strategies, and emotional processing.
Joni also identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA community and as neurodivergent, and she brings that lived perspective into her practice. She offers therapy in English and is available to international clients through remote sessions, aiming to meet people where they are and help them move forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions about meaning, freedom, and responsibility. In online sessions this often looks like guided conversation about values, choices, and what matters most when life feels uncertain. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior; work in this style involves noticing patterns in connections and practicing new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and build trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, with a therapist listening carefully and reflecting what they hear so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide next steps.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then try one or more methods to see what fits. That process can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have a deeper conversational flow. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, journaling-style reflection, and on-the-go coping between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or travel while still using recognized clinical approaches.
