About Roger
Dr. Roger Rhoades helps people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.
Dr. Rhoades is an LPC with 35 years of experience and offers straightforward, practical guidance to people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. He keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented.
He listens first, then helps people set small, doable steps. Conversations usually include skill practice, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and setting communication goals that can be tried between sessions.
How Roger works
Dr. Rhoades draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He uses that approach to tackle depressive thinking, addictive behaviors, and relationship patterns in simple, actionable ways.
He explains ideas in plain language and uses examples that fit everyday life. In sessions he is direct but respectful. He encourages honest talk about values, choices, and the practical effects of behavior.
He also helps people reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose when they feel adrift. His practice is based in South Carolina and sessions are conducted in English. Over three and a half decades he has guided many people through major life changes and relationship crises, focusing on clear steps people can take to feel better and regain control.

How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions feed each other. It helps people spot patterns that lead to depression, addictive behavior, or relationship problems and then practice different ways of thinking and acting to get better results.The therapist also focuses on practical communication skills. That work teaches specific phrases, timing, and steps to reduce conflict and rebuild trust after things like infidelity or separation. These skills are practiced in session and between meetings to make change happen in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and problems with each person and adjust methods as needed. Together they pick strategies that fit the person's schedule, values, and the issues they want to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people stay connected between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options make it easier to get consistent help while balancing work and family life.
