01 · Who Rodrigo works with

Rodrigo works with addictions, intimacy-related issues and self esteem

Rodrigo lists 16 specialisms and 20 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Rodrigo chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Rodrigo's own words

What Rodrigo says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts who has over 17 years of experience working as a psychotherapist in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting/interpersonal problems, addiction, dual diagnoses, self-esteem issues, and existential issues

My therapeutic style is warm and interactive, but I am strong and am able to go to the depths that are needed. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity and I am committed to a practice of compassion and respect for all diversity. My approach combines cognitive- behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapies.

It takes courage to begin the steps towards the changes that lead to a more fulfilling and peaceful life. When you are ready, I am here to support and guide you along the way. I look forward to working with you!

03 · How Rodrigo works

The 4 approaches Rodrigo lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Rodrigo lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Rodrigo's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Rodrigo runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Rodrigo practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rodrigo's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rodrigo at this point.

2. Naming Rodrigo specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rodrigo is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rodrigo.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Rodrigo

Built from what Rodrigo actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rodrigo's - Rodrigo has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Rodrigo's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rodrigo. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
