Richard Rodgers, LCSW

Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience in mental health and addiction care. He began this work after serving in the Army National Guard, and his time in the military shapes how he listens and responds to people's concerns.

He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He also works with trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep struggles, parenting strain, and career-related stress. He pays attention to co-occurring issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and chronic illness when they affect everyday life.

Richard trained for his social work practice with a Bachelor’s in Community Health and a Master of Social Work. His career has included work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and he draws on that range when planning care. He holds the LCSW credential in Illinois and Arizona and practices in Indiana.

His style blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. He centers the conversation on what matters to the client and then uses practical tools for behavior, emotions, and relationships. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that people can use between meetings.

Outside of work he values family time and hobbies that keep him grounded. That balance informs a steady, straightforward approach in session, aimed at helping people gain stability and make measurable progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods as therapy progresses. The aim is to find tools that feel practical and usable in daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to practice skills in the context of everyday routines, helping people bring new behaviors into their normal life without major disruption.
