Theodore Woodard, LPCC, LPC

Theodore Woodard is an LPCC and LPC with four years of clinical experience in California. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, anger, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English.

Theodore frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their own story. He treats clients as the experts on their lives and builds on strengths they already have. He emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions, not abstract theory.

He uses clear, goal-focused conversations to address motivation and substance-related problems. When addictions are present he applies motivational interviewing techniques to help people weigh options and find what matters most to them. For anxiety and stress he works with straightforward cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Theodore also draws on client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in what the client wants to address. He focuses on small, manageable changes that reduce resentment, irritability, and patterns that fuel anger. He will talk through coping tools for tense moments and longer-term habits that wear people down.

People who contact him are often looking for practical help they can use right away - clearer thinking at work, less snapping at loved ones, or better ways to handle cravings and triggers. To get started clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.
