About Hector
Hector Roman is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. He centers sessions on the person's own goals and perspective, helping people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone starting therapy.
In sessions he focuses on building an accepting space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Hector uses a client-centered stance to follow each person's pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation skills.
Hector has worked with concerns tied to family life and relationships. This includes blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood matters, and infidelity. He also supports people dealing with isolation, codependency, jealousy, and process addictions such as problematic pornography use, exercise, or gambling.
People who want to explore purpose, midlife transitions, forgiveness, or cultivating more self-love find his approach direct and practical. He blends talking and skills practice, so sessions include both reflection and actions to try between meetings. That mix helps people test new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How his approaches translate to online work
Hector uses a client-centered foundation that begins by listening to each person's needs and goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person from their point of view and creating space for honest conversation, which can work well in an online setting when people prefer to talk from their own environment.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that fit easily into daily routines, making it practical to use between online sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Hector will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts his work as clients learn what feels most helpful and what leads to usable changes in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days. It can also let people practice skills in real-time and bring home what they discuss in session for immediate use.
