About Brett

Brett Rhoden is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting struggles. He also supports people coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He brings five decades of practice to those who want straightforward help.

Brett keeps sessions plainspoken and focused. He aims to make the space feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what matters. Conversations usually look at current patterns, emotional reactions, and practical steps to try between sessions.

Background and approach

He draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit the person in front of him. Existential work looks at meaning and choice when life feels confusing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without being driven by them and move toward values-based action.

Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships still shape present behavior. With 50 years of clinical experience as an FL LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he combines long practice with a down-to-earth style. Sessions are offered in English and arranged around a person’s schedule.

Starting therapy is a small brave step and Brett encourages people to take it at their own pace. He supports practical problem solving alongside deeper conversations about identity, loss, and connection.

Online support

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels uncertain; it can help people who are rethinking identity, purpose, or major life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take small, values-driven actions that build a more workable life. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people practice different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust over time based on what is working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send updates or get brief support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
