Rodney Carson, LCSW

Rodney Carson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and related concerns. He also supports clients with relationship and intimacy questions, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and career or life-direction struggles.

Rodney draws on his long recovery experience and two decades in outpatient behavioral health work. He spent a decade as a Drug and Alcohol and Mental Health Outpatient Therapist at a community counseling agency. That practice informs a practical approach focused on what helps in day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.

His clinical toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions typically look at current problems, practical coping steps, and small changes that add up over time. He also brings experience working with people managing chronic pain, illness, and disability and with concerns such as compassion fatigue, isolation, and life purpose.

Rodney has also been involved in program development, including co-inventing a therapeutic medication game used in outpatient facilities, hospitals, nursing schools, and correctional settings. Outside clinical work he serves at his place of worship and teaches adult Sunday School, experiences that shape his practical, community-minded outlook.

People who meet with Rodney can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations about the problems they bring. He uses familiar language and concrete strategies so clients can try changes between sessions and assess what works.
