About Romy
Romy Rodriguez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She spent her early career working in crisis services and continues to bring that calm, steady focus to each session. Romy aims to help people manage overwhelming feelings and find practical steps forward.
She has experience providing individual care and case management for women involved with the court system, including work with postpartum programs. Romy has also worked with adolescents living in a shelter setting, offering trauma-focused support.
Background and approach
Over five years she has used evidence-based practices to address trauma, depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Romy uses several therapeutic models to help people name and reduce distressing symptoms. She draws from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, eye movement desensitization approaches, and cognitive behavioral methods to guide sessions.
These methods are used to build coping skills, reduce panic and intrusive memories, and strengthen self-esteem. Her style is warm and accepting. She emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard while tailoring care to each person’s needs.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what a person can handle in the moment. People reach out to Romy for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, panic, and life transitions. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, body image, loneliness, and women’s concerns.
Her practice centers on helping people feel more connected to their emotions and regain a sense of control.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Romy uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to online formats. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people name and change thoughts and behaviors tied to trauma; it uses structured activities to reduce avoidance and teach coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Eye movement desensitization approaches aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms through guided processing and stabilization work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Romy will listen to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they will adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person and moves at a comfortable pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, school, or family life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
