Hector Roman, LMHC

Hector Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who uses straightforward, skills-based therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He blends practical tools with supportive listening so clients can tackle day-to-day problems and rebuild confidence.

He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on client-centered methods to make sessions calm and respectful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques can be added when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.

Hector has 17 years of professional experience working across many relationship and life challenges. He helps with issues such as blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, and infidelity. He also supports people dealing with isolation, codependency, jealousy, and midlife transitions.

Practical concerns like process addictions - including problematic pornography use, exercise, or gambling - are within his focus, along with work on self-esteem, self-love, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. He approaches these topics directly and without judgment.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Hector’s style is collaborative: he works with each person to set goals and practice concrete skills between meetings. If someone is ready to take a first step, he guides them through scheduling and the early planning for therapy.

How Hector Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Hector commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives concrete steps to practice between sessions. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hector works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time as progress or new needs emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face for in-depth sessions. Phone can be easier when video is not possible or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or continued reflection when time is limited. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life rather than require major schedule changes.
