About Joni Rodriguez
Joni Rodriguez, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 18 years of experience supporting people through PTSD and trauma, addiction (including chemical and behavioral concerns), depression, and other mood-related challenges. Her style is integrative and practical, drawing from multiple counseling methods so the work can be tailored to each person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan. She often incorporates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with person-centered, reality-based, and narrative-informed techniques to help clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
Joni’s path into counseling began later in life after experiencing profound personal loss. The death of a spouse by suicide led to a period of intense grief, and when she was able to regain her footing, she pursued a Master of Counseling with the goal of helping others navigate similar pain. She earned her degree and became an LPC, building both professional training and significant life experience that informs her work today.
She also brings lived understanding of recovery, identifying as a recovering addict with long-term engagement in twelve-step recovery, and she shares that she is a proud member of the LGBTQIA community and neurodivergent. Prior to transitioning to remote-based therapy, Joni developed extensive in-person experience across a range of settings, including work with domestic violence survivors, outpatient and residential addiction programs for men and women, children’s residential care, and crisis stabilization services. She welcomes the opportunity to partner with clients as they work toward healing, stability, and a stronger sense of self.

Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Flexible Online
Joni Rodriguez, LPC, integrates several therapy styles to match each client’s needs, with a strong focus on trauma, addiction, depression, and mood-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, then practice new strategies to shift unhelpful patterns in everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings feel intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences can shape present-day connection, trust, and coping, offering a framework for strengthening relationships and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joni collaborates with clients to clarify goals, discuss preferences, and adjust the pace and tools as therapy unfolds, so the process stays aligned with what is most relevant and supportive for the client.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, even with a busy schedule or limited access to local options. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, and support can also be provided through live chat or text-based messaging, offering multiple ways to engage in the work in a format that fits day-to-day life.
