About Brett

Brett Rhoden is a licensed marriage and family therapist with five decades of clinical experience supporting people facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He emphasizes compassionate listening and helps clients explore interpersonal patterns, emotional responses, and practical coping strategies to navigate life changes and intimacy-related issues. His background includes long-term practice in Florida as an LMFT (FL LMFT MT905), and he draws on wide-ranging work with issues from communication problems and attachment concerns to mood and impulse-related conditions.

In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be expressed freely while collaborating on goals and action steps. Brett integrates several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-focused perspectives, existential reflection, and a client-centered stance to match interventions to each person’s needs.

He welcomes those who are ready to take the first step toward change and supports a steady, respectful process of exploration and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them, then commit to actions that align with personal values; this approach can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, which is often useful for depression, anger, and many everyday struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns and early bonds to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, making it helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brett works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. He blends techniques when appropriate and adjusts the plan as goals evolve so clients remain active partners in shaping their care.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy schedules and allow different modes of communication to suit comfort levels and therapeutic tasks.
