About Roderic
Roderic Quinto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also addresses concerns such as codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Roderic holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University of Southern California. Before becoming an LMFT he spent over a decade in the corporate world as an I.T. project manager and analyst. He has also worked in a residential treatment facility that served young people with psychological and behavioral needs. These roles shape how he approaches therapy in practical ways.
In sessions he aims to understand each person’s situation and match methods to their needs rather than using a single technique. He emphasizes hands-on problem solving and clearer communication skills for relationship and life challenges. He draws on his experience as a husband and father when addressing parenting and fatherhood topics.
Clients can expect conversations that focus on specific concerns and real-life steps. Roderic helps people sort through guilt and shame by talking about the event and its meaning, looking at patterns, and identifying choices they can make now. He encourages straightforward goals and regular check-ins to measure progress.

How evidence-based approaches are used online
Many therapists who use evidence-based techniques work with methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors or on improving communication and relationships. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test out different ways of thinking to reduce distress and increase clearer choices. Interpersonal and relational approaches focus on communication skills, boundary-setting, and resolving recurring conflicts that affect relationships and family roles.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will review a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since this biography does not list specific online options. Online work can fit more easily into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins between longer sessions, and remove the need to travel. Some formats are better for quieter conversations, while others let people skip video and use audio when that is preferable. Ask which formats are offered when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
