He lists work with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, career issues, addictions, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coaching.

He combines several practical therapeutic approaches when meeting with people.

Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused work shape how conversations are held, with attention to feelings and relationship patterns.
Rodney has a background that includes seminary training with a Master of Divinity and pastoral counseling across a range of settings in South Carolina. His practice history includes work with premarital assessment tools and career development resources. He reports additional experience using assessment instruments such as PREPARE/ENRICH and personality inventories to clarify strengths and goals.
In sessions he helps people set clear goals and identify practical steps. That may mean practicing new ways to manage anxiety, addressing patterns carried over from family of origin, or working on communication and commitment issues. He uses coaching techniques alongside therapeutic methods to support behavioral change.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take steps that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting a person's own problem-solving and can help in situations involving relationship patterns and self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. That way sessions reflect both clinical approaches and the person's priorities in a collaborative way.
The profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Video work supports face-to-face conversation; phone calls can be used for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to match a client's daily life.
