Healing Trauma, One Step at a Time

Recent research continues to reaffirm what many of us in trauma therapy have seen: structured, focused treatment works and it works well. A 2025 analysis reports that trauma-focused therapies like CBT and EMDR deliver an impressive 85% response rate, with nearly 40% of clients achieving full remission clear evidence that healing is more than possible, it’s probable when therapy is tailored and consistent.

“Trauma-focused therapies like CBT and EMDR show 85% response rates with around 40% full remission.”

That’s a statistic rooted in hope a reminder that, although PTSD and trauma can feel all-consuming, there are paths toward real relief.

Introducing Joe Roller Counseling

At Joe Roller Counseling, we understand that healing trauma isn’t just about techniques it’s about human connection. Located in Austin, Texas, we’re led by Joe Roller, MA, LPC-S, a Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor with over 10 years of experience in trauma and addiction work. His approach is gentle, grounded in evidence-based methods and deeply personal tailored to each individual’s story, each step of the way.

From the Counselor’s Heart

Our mission is simple but essential: to help folks reclaim their lives from trauma,” Joe often shares. “We believe that every person deserves to feel safe, understood, and empowered to move forward.”

We work with individuals, couples, and families not just as therapists, but as allies in healing. As one client reflected, “I was hesitant to start counseling, but [Joe] made me feel at ease from the first session… he listened without judgment and offered tools that have genuinely transformed my outlook on life”.

Why This Matters Now

Going back to that study: if trauma-focused therapies work for 85% of clients, then our work isn’t just meaningful it’s essential. With so many people still hesitant to engage in therapy or facing barriers due to cost, time, or emotional exhaustion we see our role as both guide and companion.

We often say, Let’s build a personalized plan that honors where you’ve been and leads you toward lasting relief.

Hi, I'm Joe Roller. I'm a trauma counselor because I believe in the power of healing — and I know how important it is to have someone walk alongside you through it. For years, I've been helping individuals who are carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life’s tough transitions. My approach is simple: create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we'll work at your pace, using proven techniques that help you process what you've been through and build the life you want moving forward. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Every person’s story is different, and your counseling experience should be, too. Whether you're working through the effects of past trauma, feeling stuck in grief, or simply trying to manage everyday stress, I'm here to help you reconnect with your own resilience. I offer both in-person sessions and secure online counseling, so you can get the support you need in a way that feels right for you. Healing is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to take that first step, I'm ready to walk with you.
