About Hector
Hector Roman is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington. He brings 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship challenges. Hector speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step easier for those seeking support.
Hector uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what matters most to each person. He listens first, then helps clients set simple, practical goals. That same straightforward style carries into his use of cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
How Hector works
He also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and steady routines. When people feel stuck by meaning or purpose, he uses existential questions to open options and clarify values. These methods are chosen to match the issue and the person rather than follow a rigid formula.
Hector has worked with a wide range of concerns across many settings over nearly two decades. He helps people dealing with blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness. He also supports people facing infidelity, isolation, jealousy, and struggles with life purpose or midlife shifts.
Additional focus areas include multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, process addictions such as problematic gambling or pornography, and building self-love and self-esteem. He keeps sessions direct and practical so people can try changes between meetings. Getting started is simple: use the site controls to begin, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a session that fits your life.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Hector often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to create sessions that feel practical and personal. Client-centered work means he starts by listening closely and shaping goals with each person. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions or relationship strain get in the way. DBT-based tools teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication so daily challenges feel easier to manage. The choice of approach is collaborative - Hector helps clients pick methods that match their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, childcare, or other commitments. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical over time.
