Background and approach
Roderick brings ten years of experience as an LMSW - licensed master social worker - in Michigan. He draws on approaches shown to help with depression, anxiety, and substance concerns while remaining attentive to each person’s background and identity. He aims to match methods to the problem, not force a single style.
Common topics he addresses include guilt and shame, forgiveness, social anxiety and phobia, and trouble connecting with others. He also supports people who want clearer direction in life or better skills for day-to-day interactions. The emphasis is on usable tools and steady progress.
Sessions can feel direct and kind. Roderick tries to make therapy easy to understand and apply between meetings. People who want practical strategies for anger, stress, or improving relationships may find his way of working helpful.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Roderick uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on skill building and behavior change. One common approach he uses teaches specific coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding techniques, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these methods help reduce avoidance and increase daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes emotional processing and working through guilt, shame, and anger by identifying triggers, naming feelings, and practicing healthier responses; this helps people gain clarity and reduce reactive behavior.Finding the right approach is a team effort. He works with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and he adjusts plans as progress is made. People set priorities together and test what helps, keeping the work practical and focused on real-life changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
