About Hector
Hector Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He brings 17 years of counseling experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone starting therapy.
Hector uses a client-centered approach to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk clearly about what matters to them.
Background and approach
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that lead to better daily coping. He incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. That combination is useful for people dealing with conflict, codependency, infidelity, or blended family stress.
Sessions focus on simple, doable changes rather than abstract theory. Hector has worked with clients on topics such as divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, midlife questions, and struggles around isolation or life purpose. He also addresses process addictions like problematic gambling, exercise, or pornography use and offers support around multicultural and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
People who choose to work with him can expect straightforward conversation, concrete skills, and gentle challenge when needed. He encourages anyone taking the first step to reach out and begin a short matching process to get scheduled.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Hector uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can speak about their problems and set their own goals. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients feel understood before moving into specific tools.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers clear steps to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hector will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adjust methods as work progresses. Clients help choose whether sessions focus on skills practice, emotional exploration, or both.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and practice communication; phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break; chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to daily life and scheduling needs.
