About Rodney "Rod" Mayes

Rodney "Rod" Mayes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Utah with more than 30 years of clinical experience. He earned a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Colorado State University in 1993 and has since worked with people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, OCD, and ADHD.

Mayes has significant experience supporting individuals who have endured trauma and emotional abuse, and his recent practice has included work with adolescents coping with pre-adoption trauma. His approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he intentionally avoids stigmatizing labels. As an LMFT - a professional credential indicating specialized training in marriage and family therapy - he emphasizes strategic, future-focused interventions that help clients move toward the lives they want rather than remaining stuck in past patterns.

Therapy with Mayes is tailored to each person, with dialogue and treatment plans shaped to meet unique needs and goals. He also explores ideas about personal change in his book, "From Someday to Success," which reflects his beliefs about growth, resilience, and becoming a better self.

Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Change

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own experience, offering empathetic listening and acceptance so clients can explore values, self-esteem, and life transitions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and obsessive patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity and supporting new, more empowering perspectives for dealing with relationship and family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and a licensed professional will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include combining elements from different approaches to match the client's situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from a distance. These options support consistent engagement and make it simpler to work with therapists while managing everyday responsibilities.
