Roderick Foley , LPC

Roderick Foley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a director with a long-standing focus on child, adolescent, and family counseling and case management. He has worked in the rehabilitation field since 1987, including operating a multiservice rehabilitation center that specialized in dual diagnosis, developmental disability, and acquired brain injury. His scholarly and clinical interests center on child and family therapy, with a strong emphasis on serving multicultural and disadvantaged populations. His clinical specialization is grounded in early attachment systems and theory, yet he remains eclectic in selecting foundational approaches to meet each family's needs.

He authored the clinical curriculum for a freestanding wilderness adventure program designed for Native American youth addressing substance abuse and addiction, a program that included intensive family and extended family work. In his Wyoming practice as an LPC, he focuses on children and families through play therapy for both children and adults, psychosocial group and individual therapies, couples counseling, and family counseling. He has been involved in developing his agency's telehealth platform since 2016 and values remote services as a way to reach rural and isolated communities.

Foley practices with a person-centered orientation that emphasizes honesty, dignity, and respect. He combines goal-directed methods such as cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive approaches, bringing professionalism and a sense of humor to the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care for Families

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the role of early relationships in emotional development and targets issues like attachment difficulties, relationship patterns, and trauma by exploring how early bonds shape current behavior and connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and creating a supportive environment that helps individuals and caregivers build self-awareness, self-esteem, and stronger family communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Roderick Foley collaborates with clients and families to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor care in a way that feels purposeful and manageable.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for families juggling schedules and for those in rural or remote areas. Licensed professionals can offer consistent support without travel, making it easier to attend sessions, continue skill-building between meetings, and stay connected to care when life is busy or circumstances change.
