Roderick Foley , LPC

Roderick Foley is a Director and Clinical Director at a wellness center that concentrates on child, adolescent, and family counseling as well as case management. He has worked in the rehabilitation field since 1987, including operating a multi-service rehabilitation center that specialized in dual diagnosis, developmental disability, and acquired brain injury, giving him broad experience with complex needs and interdisciplinary care.

His scholarly and clinical focus has consistently centered on child, adolescent, and family counseling, with a particular emphasis on multicultural and disadvantaged populations. His clinical specialization is rooted in early attachment systems and theory, and he applies an eclectic blend of foundational theories in practice. He authored the clinical curriculum for a Freestanding Wilderness Adventure Program serving Native American youth with substance abuse and addiction, a program that incorporated intensive work with families and extended family systems.

Today he practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming. An LPC is a credential indicating licensure to provide professional counseling services in the state. His practice emphasizes work with children and families, offering play therapy for children and adults, psycho-social group and individual therapies, couples counseling, and family counseling. He developed his agency's telehealth platform beginning in 2016 and has long advocated for telemedicine as a way to reach rural and isolated populations.

Foley's therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered care. He names honesty, dignity, and respect as cornerstones of effective therapy and places high value on diversity and cultural sensitivity. His work is goal-directed, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods, and he balances clinical rigor with a measured sense of humor and professionalism.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored for families

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. It focuses on improving emotional bonds between children, parents, and partners and is often useful for attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and relationship challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical strategies for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by helping people build a meaningful life even when uncomfortable experiences arise.

Client-centered Therapy, rooted in a person-focused approach, emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. It supports clients of all ages by creating space for self-exploration and growth and can be a helpful foundation alongside more structured techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roderick Foley works collaboratively with clients and families to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time for rural or isolated households, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while supporting the same therapeutic aims as traditional sessions.
