Getting to know Thelma Rodriguez

Hi there, I'm Thelma! My name is Thelma Rodriguez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience working in schools, nonprofit grant programs, 5 years as an adjunct professor, and 3 years in private practice. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have been a school social worker for 16 years, supporting adolescents, children, and parenting programs. My approach My therapeutic approach is collaborative, so together, through a strength-based lens, we can recognize your strengths while exploring the roots of your thoughts and feelings. I incorporate principles of mindfulness, a person-centered approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My focus I typically work with adolescents and emerging adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life adjustments related to divorce. Additionally, I have supported adults managing life stressors, transitions, work-family balance, anxiety, depression, and caregiving responsibilities. My communication style I offer an empathic and active listening style, which allows me to communicate in a calm and receptive tone. I strive to create a validating and safe space for my clients. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to therapy because I believe mental wellness is crucial in an individual’s life. I believe every person has the potential to achieve greatness when given the right skills and support. As a bicultural and bilingual therapist, it is important to me to break barriers and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. My goals for you I approach goal setting with clients using principles of motivational interviewing to meet you where you are. My first session with you You can expect to feel heard and validated in a non-judgmental space, while we identify areas of need and develop coping strategies to support your overall wellness.
