About Luis

Luis Roman is a licensed mental health counselor who helps men and others who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, or feeling stuck. He focuses on clearer communication, stronger day-to-day coping, and practical ways to handle big emotions. Luis offers a calm, straightforward approach for people who want tools and real change.

He learned early that how people talk to each other matters. Raised in a Puerto Rican household, he noticed heated exchanges and little listening. That background shapes his work now and motivates him to teach communication skills that can ease tension at home and in relationships.

Over six years he has worked in PROS programs, residential settings, and outpatient clinics in New York. He helps people make personalized plans to manage mood, addiction, ADHD, grief, and trauma. He also supports clients with career and life transitions, and with challenges linked to identity and intimacy.

Luis uses straightforward education about diagnoses to reduce stigma and make treatment clearer. He draws on Client-Centered methods to follow each person's pace, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and motivational strategies to build momentum for change.

He earned a Bachelors degree from Lehman College and a Masters degree from the College of New Rochelle. Luis holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and currently practices in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx. To start, he asks people what matters most and works with them to set practical goals.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are, which helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers a clear way to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and calm the body, which can help with anger, cravings, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Luis works collaboratively to decide what methods fit a client's goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools in the moment between sessions. If you want flexibility around timing or need a straightforward skill-focused plan, discuss those needs when you schedule to see how they can be accommodated.
