About Roderick
Roderick Foley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming who works with families and parents facing stress, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and related concerns. He focuses on practical steps parents can take, clear communication, and rebuilding connection at home. He uses straightforward language and tries to keep sessions focused and goal oriented so families can make steady progress.
He has 13 years of experience as an LPC and a long career in rehabilitation that began in 1987.
Background and approach
His work has included running multi-service rehabilitation programs and developing specialized clinical curriculum. That background shaped his interest in child, adolescent, and family counseling and in addressing complex situations like dual diagnosis and acquired brain injury. Roderick leans on attachment-based ideas about how early relationships shape behavior.
He also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when those methods fit a family's needs. Therapy can include play techniques with children, individual sessions, couples work, or family meetings depending on the issue. He has experience designing programs for Native American youth and for families affected by addiction.
He emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect and balances goal-focused work with a warm, human approach. Parents can expect clear goals, practical strategies, and direct coaching for handling everyday parenting challenges. Roderick has used telehealth since 2016 to reach rural and isolated families.
He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as options for connecting.
Therapeutic approaches for families online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps toward those goals. It is useful for coping with stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on family relationships and early bonds, aiming to improve trust and connection between parents and children. This approach can help with parenting conflicts and family-of-origin patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and daily parenting challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with families to figure out which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats give families flexibility when schedules are tight or travel is difficult. They also let parents and children keep continuity of care while trying practical skills at home and reviewing progress between meetings.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
