Theodore Woodard, LPCC, LPC

Theodore Woodard is an LPCC and an LPC with four years of clinical experience practicing in California. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and problems tied to addiction and self-esteem. He also lists codependency and grief among his focus areas.

He uses straightforward, person-centered work that starts with the client's story. Sessions focus on identifying strengths people already have and on practical steps they can try between meetings. He helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or losing themselves around another person's moods or drinking.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often appears in his work when patterns of thought and behavior are getting in the way. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, testing small behavioral changes, and tracking results together. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change; it’s a way to talk through ambivalence and build motivation.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used for concrete, short-term goals such as improving day-to-day coping or creating clearer boundaries. Theodore blends these approaches with a client-centered stance, keeping the conversation practical and goal-oriented. He emphasizes simple tools people can use right away.

People who come for help can expect direct discussion of goals, homework when it’s useful, and checking progress along the way. Before a first session he asks people to share their concerns so time can be used efficiently.
