Hector Roman, LMHC

Hector Roman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington. He uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or low self-esteem. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on 17 years of experience to guide conversations and set practical goals.

Hector centers sessions on the person in front of him. He aims to make sessions open and nonjudgmental so people can talk about difficult feelings. He listens for patterns that keep causing pain and works with clients to try different ways of responding to those patterns.

He blends methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and dialectical behavior principles to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thoughts. He also brings attention to meaning and values when people are facing life transitions or questions about purpose.

Common concerns he addresses include relationship conflicts, blended family issues, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, and struggles with motivation or isolation. He also helps people facing divorce or separation, fatherhood issues, and process addictions like problematic pornography, exercise, or gambling behaviors.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Hector helps clients clarify goals, practice new skills between visits, and notice small changes over time. To begin, clients use the site to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions based on his availability.

How Hector’s approaches translate to online therapy

Hector commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hector will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together that fit those needs. He adjusts the mix of listening, skills practice, and values work as the relationship develops.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions that match a person’s daily schedule. For many people, these practical benefits make regular work on relationships, stress, and emotional goals more achievable.
