About Theodore

Theodore Woodard is a licensed counselor who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience and dual credentials as an LPCC and an LPC, he emphasizes collaboration and individual strengths when addressing challenges such as relationship strain, grief, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and intimacy-related issues.

He often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and build clearer coping skills, while also using motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals. Theodore frames clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to empower them to regain confidence and purpose.

He works with additional concerns including codependency, substance and process addictions, multicultural considerations, social anxiety, workplace stress, and issues common among young adults. Theodore practices in California and conducts sessions in English.

He encourages anyone taking the first step toward change to reach out, offering supportive guidance as clients pursue more fulfilling and resilient ways of living.

Integrating Practical Approaches with Online Care

Therodore Woodard uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors, then practices concrete skills to shift those patterns. He also uses client-centered therapy to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and values guide the work, which can be especially useful for addressing self-esteem, relationship, and multicultural concerns.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Theodore will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits the client's needs rather than forcing a single technique.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between in-person commitments. These formats offer flexibility for people managing workplace demands, caregiving, school, or geographic constraints, while still allowing for skills practice, motivational conversations, and solution-focused planning with a licensed professional.
