About Aaliyah
Aaliyah Rodgers is a Kentucky Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, ADHD, and family concerns.
Aaliyah uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. She listens to what matters to the person and focuses on practical steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolbox when tracking thoughts and habits helps reduce distress.
She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and timing. For those affected by traumatic memories, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as an option when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear when the aim is clearer problem solving or building motivation for change.
Aaliyah draws on clinical experience supporting people with dissociation, panic attacks, mood concerns, and effects of sexual assault and abuse. She works with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to break problems down into manageable steps and build small, repeatable skills.
She practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start are asked to use the platform matching process to schedule a first session and outline goals before the initial meeting.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Aaliyah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking results to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also works in a client-centered way, which means sessions follow the person’s goals and pace. That approach is about listening and shaping work around what the person wants to change. For people with traumatic memories she may offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which targets distressing memories through structured processing and can reduce the intensity of trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaliyah will discuss options and help decide what to try first based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quieter check-ins when a full session would be difficult. Discuss scheduling and format details during the matching and intake steps so sessions fit day-to-day life.
