About Luis

Luis Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, ADHD and related struggles.

He focuses on improving how people communicate. Luis grew up in a Puerto Rican household where raised voices were common and listening was limited. That background shaped his interest in helping people notice their interaction patterns and speak more effectively with partners and family members.

Luis uses straightforward education about mental health to reduce stigma and make conditions easier to understand. He has provided individual, family, and group services since 2016 and routinely addresses co-occurring substance use and mood conditions. He emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions.

His work history spans PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient clinics. In those roles he helped clients build personalized plans, set concrete goals, and find or keep employment when that was part of recovery. He currently practices in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx.

Luis studied at Lehman College for his bachelor’s degree and earned a master’s degree from the College of New Rochelle. He describes therapy as focused on clearer communication, problem-solving, and skill practice rather than labels or jargon.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and strengths. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and letting the client's goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone wants more control over how they communicate and relate to others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and trying small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anger tied to workplace stress, relationship conflicts, or recurring negative thinking.

Mindfulness therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and bodily cues. It can help people notice early signs of irritation and choose different responses before frustration escalates.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Luis will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or combination fits their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That conversation shapes treatment planning and what skills are practiced between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discuss format preferences when you schedule the first appointment to match the structure to your needs.
