About JoMario
JoMario Rivera is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also addresses concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, and guilt and shame.
JoMario uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
In practice he blends Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support change at a pace the person can manage. He also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and steadier coping, not quick fixes.
JoMario works with issues that can come from family background, cultural stress, or major life transitions. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness, and financial or immigration-related stress. He offers services in English and Spanish and welcomes international clients.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
JoMario often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts without letting those thoughts dictate actions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and choosing steps that align with those values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try practical changes in behavior and thought habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. JoMario partners with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That decision is based on the person’s needs, preferences, and what shows progress in the first sessions, so the plan can be adjusted over time.
The practice supports remote sessions, so confirm the exact session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone connect in a quieter hour or use phone-only sessions if video would be difficult. Confirm current session options before booking to know what will work for you.
