Chehairazode Rodney , LMHC

Chehairazode Rodney is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. She also offers support around parenting, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and concerns people in the LGBT community may bring.

Rodney keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the client. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people take the next steps toward change.

Her approach draws on a mix of well-known therapies to match each person's needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people name their values, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and emotionally focused work to address relationship and intimacy concerns. Dialectical skills and client-centered listening are also part of her toolkit.

With eight years of clinical experience, Rodney works with adults on a range of life challenges. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, codependency and communication problems, and the strain that comes with caregiving or first responder stress.

Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer next steps toward more satisfying daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters and take steps toward those values even when painful thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what’s working.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a conversation much like an in-person visit, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework discussions, or ongoing support easier to fit into a busy schedule. These options help people keep therapy consistent through life changes and varied routines.
