Roderick Foley, LPC

Roderick Foley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. He writes simply and speaks directly to practical steps clients can take. His style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at people who want a clear path forward.

He brings 13 years as an LPC in Wyoming and decades of related work in rehabilitation and program development. Early career experience included running rehabilitation services that focused on dual diagnosis, developmental disability, and acquired brain injury. That background shaped his interest in serving people who face medical, developmental, or social obstacles.

Roderick emphasizes understanding early attachment and how those patterns affect adult life. He combines that focus with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and attachment-based ideas. Sessions mix practical skills training with conversations about values and relationship patterns.

Roderick has created curricula for youth programs and helped design telehealth services to reach rural areas. He uses play techniques with children and offers individual, group, and family-oriented work when appropriate. He aims to adapt methods to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who choose him can expect respectful, goal-oriented sessions grounded in honesty and cultural awareness. He keeps a sense of humor in the room and focuses on clear goals and steps the client can take between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Roderick commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful goals, which can help with life transitions and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands with each person and choose or blend approaches that fit. That conversation helps set clear, measurable steps and homework that feel realistic for the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for full sessions that mimic an in-person conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and rural schedules while preserving continuity of care.
