Background and approach
Dr. Rodgers brings 18 years of experience working in California settings that included foster and adoptive care and independent practice. That background informs how she understands trauma, secondary trauma, and the strains of caregiving or demanding jobs.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. In sessions she emphasizes practical techniques and storytelling to make sense of difficult experiences. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are offered alongside narrative and solution-focused methods to build coping skills and move toward concrete goals.
The pace is set by the client. People meet her for help with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting strain, and career concerns. She also supports those facing grief, end-of-life caregiving stress, first responder issues, adoption and foster care topics, and attention-related challenges.
Dr. Rodgers works in English and practices as an LMFT in California.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Rodgers commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused and narrative methods to help people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and teaches practical skills for reducing worry and stress. Trauma-focused therapy centers on understanding traumatic events and building strategies to reduce their day-to-day impact. Narrative therapy invites people to tell and reshape the stories they tell about themselves to create new meanings and choices.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Sessions may combine techniques and adjust over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing prompts, or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going despite busy days or changing commitments.
