About Chehairazode

Chehairazode Rodney is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and intimacy issues. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.

She aims to make it easier for a worried parent to ask for help and to take a first step toward change. Rodney creates a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment.

Background and approach

She encourages modest, doable steps rather than big leaps. Sessions are meant to feel collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace. Her work draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when those fit a person’s needs. These methods are used to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. With eight years of experience, Rodney blends practical skill-building with attention to emotion and relationship patterns.

She explains techniques simply and helps clients practice them between sessions. Her practice serves people in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. For parents juggling multiple demands, she focuses on realistic strategies for stress, parenting, and family problems.

She supports people through life changes such as divorce, bereavement, career shifts, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and flexible care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to focus on values and committed action. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and unhealthy habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns to improve connections and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will choose methods and adapt them as needed so the plan fits the client’s life and needs.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family routine and to check in between meetings when useful. The focus remains on practicing skills, noticing patterns, and making steady, manageable changes over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
