About Rodney
Rodney Carson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings two decades of experience to counseling. He focuses on practical problems like stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. He also supports people coping with trauma, grief, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and life changes.
His approach is straightforward and person-centered. He listens first and helps people set steps they can try between sessions. He uses clear, goal-minded techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational strategies to help someone notice patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Rodney draws on long personal experience in recovery and years working in outpatient drug, alcohol, and mental health settings. That background informs a direct style that blends understanding with accountability. He also has experience developing a therapeutic medication game used in various clinical and educational settings.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small experiments to test what helps. Clients can expect practical tools for managing anger, reducing panic, improving sleep, or building routines that support recovery and daily functioning. Rodney aims to help people feel more in control and able to make steady progress.
When faith and purpose matter to someone, he can include those themes in sessions. He teaches and serves in his place of worship and brings that life experience into conversations when clients want it included.

Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches hands-on skills for managing anxiety, anger, mood, and panic attacks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process means methods can be mixed or changed as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a routine. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility so someone can keep progress going from wherever their day allows.
