Roderick Foley

Roderick Foley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with children, adolescents, and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He brings 13 years as an LPC and decades of broader rehabilitation experience to his practice. People reach out to him for help with ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and family problems. He also has experience related to intellectual disability from his prior work in developmental disability services.

He leads with straightforward, person-centered care that aims to treat people with respect and honesty. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps the client can try between meetings. He mixes approaches so therapy is tailored to each person rather than following a single script.

Foley has a long history in rehabilitation and program development, including work with dual diagnosis, acquired brain injury, and wilderness programs for youth facing substance use issues. That background informs his focus on family systems, attachment, and culturally aware care. He emphasizes play-based approaches with children and psycho-social group work when it fits the goals.

He has helped agencies build telehealth services and has used remote care since 2016 to reach rural or isolated people. In sessions he aims to be pragmatic and approachable, bringing a sense of humor along with professional boundaries.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that looks at attachment patterns, behavior change strategies, and realistic plans to manage life changes. Roderick applies Cognitive Behavioral tools alongside Acceptance and Commitment and Attachment-Based ideas to help people find workable next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Roderick commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action to help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up in current relationships, which can help with parenting, family difficulties, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete skills for mood, stress, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. He works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and what feels doable. Sessions may combine approaches so the plan fits the person's life rather than forcing a single model.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins on a day off, or makes it easier to connect from rural locations. Roderick has helped develop telehealth services since 2016 and has experience adapting play-based work, family conversations, and skill-building for remote sessions. Ask about formats and what will work best for your needs when you schedule.
