About Hector
Hector Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. He speaks English and Spanish. He has 17 years of experience and works in Washington.
Hector uses a straightforward, person-centered style. He creates a calm space where clients can talk about worries and feelings without judgment. He helps people strengthen self-esteem, regain motivation, and handle depressive episodes in everyday terms.
He also brings practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and habits. Those tools are paired with skills from dialectical behavior therapy when intense emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems. Together these approaches aim to make small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day life.
Many people come to him for family-related concerns such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, communication problems, or fatherhood questions. He also works on specific topics like codependency, infidelity, loneliness, and process addictions including gambling and pornography concerns.
Sessions emphasize clear communication and steady progress. Hector encourages clients to set realistic goals and practices between meetings. He asks questions, listens closely, and helps each person find the path that fits their values and routines.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts your concerns at the center of conversation and focuses on listening and understanding. Hector aims to reflect what you say, help you feel heard, and support you in choosing the next steps that fit your life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that make anxiety or low mood worse. It can help with stress, relationship patterns, and process addictions by breaking problems into manageable tasks and homework between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and communication skills when feelings become overwhelming. These skills can reduce conflict and improve day-to-day coping in family situations.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hector will work with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and personal style. He often combines approaches rather than using only one, and adjusts plans as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the session formats available so you can pick what works best for your routine.
