About Theodore
Theodore Woodard is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and brings four years of professional experience to his work. Theodore speaks English and sees clients based in California.
Theodore centers sessions on the client's own goals and strengths. He treats anxiety, depression, and issues tied to addiction, including drugs, alcohol, and process addictions like gambling or pornography. He also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and problems with intimacy or self esteem.
Background and approach
His style is straightforward and collaborative. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and make space for each person's experience. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical behavior changes between sessions.
Theodore also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps when someone wants short-term, goal-directed work to build momentum. These approaches are tools he draws on depending on what a person needs.
Outside of symptom-focused work, Theodore pays attention to cultural concerns and to stress that comes from the workplace or young adult life transitions. He encourages clients to notice their own strengths and uses brief, action-oriented steps to move toward realistic goals.
Approach-focused online care for anxiety and addiction
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and building on a person's strengths. It helps people who need space to tell their story and to feel heard before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses small experiments and practice tasks to reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term, solution-focused steps, deeper exploration with client-centered work, or practical CBT exercises.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or to use brief support when a quick touchpoint helps.
