Almudena Ruiz Roman brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She works in both English and Spanish and combines a warm, non-judgmental stance with openness and genuine engagement to help people explore the past, navigate life transitions, improve relationships, and develop more effective ways of coping with daily stressors.
Her professional training includes licensure as a clinical counselor and several specialty certifications: she is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC (IL LCPC 180006257) and in Connecticut as an LPC (CT LPC 006177), is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), is a Certified EMDR clinician, is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and has training in Brainspotting. Almudena has also worked professionally in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, bringing an international perspective to her therapeutic work.
Almudena aims to understand each person’s unique circumstances and to collaborate closely with them to restore inner balance. She recognizes that life’s challenges cannot always be controlled, but that how one responds to those events can be shaped and strengthened through thoughtful, evidence-informed therapeutic work.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can choose the format that best fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. Online therapy can be a practical and effective way to access therapeutic support for many everyday mental health concerns.
