About Hector
Hector Roman is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical support for everyday problems that affect mood and relationships.
He uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions often include clear steps and small experiments clients can try between meetings. He also incorporates client-centered listening so people feel heard while they try new ways of responding.
Over his career he has helped with specific issues such as blended family challenges, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and fatherhood concerns. He also addresses forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. Process addictions like problematic pornography use, gambling, or exercise are part of his practice as well.
Hector combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with skills-based approaches from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and reflective work from existential and client-centered methods. That mix aims to balance practical skill-building with space to talk through meaning and values.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process: setting clear goals, tracking small changes, and adjusting methods when needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's online process.
How his approaches translate to online work
Hector commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete changes to see what works, which suits problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Client-centered work provides attentive listening and reflection so clients can clarify values and goals.He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills training when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills can provide short, practical tools to manage strong emotions and improve communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans together with each client. That collaborative decision-making helps align practical techniques with personal priorities.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, fewer commuting hours, or using audio-only if bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they practice new skills.
