Almudena Ruiz Roman, LCPC, LPC

Almudena Ruiz Roman brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. She approaches each person with genuineness, openness, and a non-judgmental stance, aiming to build a collaborative relationship that helps clients explore life transitions, process past events, and develop more effective ways of coping.

She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has professional experience from Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which informs a culturally aware practice. Almudena is credentialed as an LCPC and an LPC - that is, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor - reflecting advanced training in mental health assessment and treatment.

Her work emphasizes restoring balance and strengthening internal resources so individuals can change how they respond to life stressors. Whether someone seeks help to improve relationships, enhance performance at work or school, face fears, recover from loss, or work through addiction or trauma, Almudena aims to understand each person’s circumstances and collaborate on practical, compassionate strategies for growth and healing.

Trauma-informed approaches and the convenience of online sessions

Almudena uses targeted, evidence-informed techniques to address trauma, addiction, and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one approach she uses to help people process distressing memories by guiding attention while recalling upsetting material - it is often used for trauma-related symptoms and painful memories. Clinical hypnotherapy is another tool in her toolkit that involves focused relaxation and guided suggestion to help change unhelpful patterns and ease anxiety or habit-related challenges. She is also trained in Brainspotting, a method that supports processing of deeply held emotional experiences by identifying eye positions linked to emotional activation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Almudena works with each person to assess needs, discuss goals, and try methods that fit the individual’s preferences and pace. Over time she adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback so treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations within the permitted service area, and let clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
