About Almudena
Almudena Ruiz Roman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions. She draws on 27 years of clinical experience and works in both English and Spanish. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and anger.
Sessions are aimed at helping people change unhelpful reactions, build coping skills, and make small shifts that improve day-to-day living. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Her background includes long clinical practice across multiple countries, and she leans on that experience when someone faces complex problems. That includes people managing chronic pain or illness, navigating grief or loss, coping after a disaster, and dealing with guilt or shame. She also supports concerns tied to immigration, work stress, and midlife transitions.
In sessions she emphasizes a genuine, open, non-judgmental stance. The therapist listens first, clarifies what matters most, and then offers practical tools to try between meetings. The work is collaborative and focused on what helps the client feel and function better.
People often come for help with panic attacks, mood disorders, phobias, postpartum depression, or substance concerns. Therapy includes learning new ways to respond to triggers, building emotional regulation skills, and developing realistic plans for everyday challenges.

How evidence-based approaches fit online therapy
Almudena commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach coping and emotion regulation skills. One approach focuses on skills to manage stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step actions to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and difficult memories in a paced way, helping people reduce the intensity of reactions and regain daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Together you decide which methods to keep or change as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face when discussing emotions or practicing techniques. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
