More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: Pennsylvania

Hi, my name is Rodney W. Carson and I am a Licence Clinical Social Worker. I have work in the field of counseling and social work for the past 25 years. I am very passionate about helping individuals for I received help when I was struggling in life with drug addiction. I have been in recovery and working a recovery program for the past 25 years. For the last decade, I have worked as a Drug and Alcohol and Mental Health Outpatient Therapist for a local community counseling agency. I am co-inventor of a therapeutic medication game/program that has been utilized at different outpatient facilities, hospitals, nursing schools, and prisons throughout the United States and Canada. I enjoy motivating individuals to help themselves in times when they may be at their lowest point in life. It has been very rewarding to see a person get better and their life improve from the help I offer through counseling. At my place of worship, I am on the path to becoming an ordained deacon and have been teaching the adult Sunday School class for the past nine years. One of my favorite scriptures in the bible which helps motivate me is, Philippians: 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me". I am excited to have this opportunity to be of help to you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rodney is best therapist, love him like a brother

Rodney is great! He listens to everything and takes the time to understand me as an individual to figure out the best ways to get through things. His tips and tricks have helped me so much. I find myself really using and remembering what he told me as compared to what previous therapist have said. He’s the best!

Rodney was a pleasure to talk to and help me work on some problems. He was great at helping me work out of some addictions and keep moving forward towards recovery. Great to talk to him about any problem I was having. Very positive therapist. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Rodney!

Rodney is great and helps me handle all problems big or small. Points out helpful ways to cope and face the world.

Rodney has been great so far. I have only has 2 video sessions so I think its kinda early for a full review, but so far it has been as good as I could have hoped.

Very nice and listen.

Rodney has helped me see life differently.. his help has made all the difference in my life.. I wish there were more Rodney's in the world..

Rodney is a very caring and genuine counselor! He would get my highest recommendation.

Rodney completely changed my way of thinking. He showed me the power of positive thinking!! Would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a counselor. The BEST.

I was in a pretty bad place when Rodney and I first began talking. Now, you can quite literally see the growth in how I act, and I can tell talking with him has made a big difference in how I think about things. He is overly supportive and not only validates how I am feeling, but challenges me to think about it from a bigger point of view. I am so glad we got matched together, he has helped me so much!

I would highly recommend Mr. Carson

After seeing multiple therapists, Rodney was the first to help me effectively manage my issues and help work towards self betterment. Rodney is a kind and patient man and I look forward to every interaction with him.

Rodney is a great and supportive counselor.

He’s wonderful. Helps me look at my problems from various perspectives. Always maintains positivity and helpfulness. I am grateful for what he’s been able to help me recognize and work on in my life. He’s kind and personable and I enjoy speaking with him.

Rodney is a very caring, extremely intelligent practitioner. He is new to me, but I am beginning to realize that he seriously listens to what I have to say and then he "reads between the lines" and tells me what hears me saying. I LOVE THIS! He asks smart, soul-searching questions and is respectful of my answers. He is most thorough when it comes to checking in on me--this is a far better experience than I had anticipated!

Rodney has been instrumental in improving me as a person. It’s saved my marriage, career, friendships, etc.

Rodney is an excellent counselor who listens and offers compassionate and helpful feedback.

He challenges me to think differently, and I like that.

Rodney made my therapy experience wonderful. He gave great insight and was soooooo easy to talk to.

What I love most is that Rodney never makes me feel like my thoughts/opinions/concerns are invalid. He encourages me to talk/think it out loud and change my perspective to see my problem in a positive way. He’s awesome and I’m just really fortunate to have been paired with him!

We’ve only had 2-3 sessions, but so far Rodney has been on point, provided me with some excellent suggestions to combat my issues, given me homework, responds to my journal, & helps me ID the key areas to focus on throughout the week. He’s been a very effective counsel, & I look forward to the weekly sessions! He’s been great!

Rodney is awesome!

Rodney is fantastic. He listens but he also helps you be the best version of you. He gives great advice and he keep things real which I appreciate. Good man and a good counselor.
