Isaac nelson, Licensed clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC-8861
In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” I believe that the greatest capacities for overcoming challenges in life are found in being able to utilize and increase our strengths. As a counselor, my goal is to help my clients become aware of that power and successfully overcome a variety of mental health and life challenges.
I want to provide my clients with an environment where they can be open about these challenges and be understood. I strive to help my clients develop lifelong patterns of thinking and acting based on what is most important to them and help them live the most rewarding and meaningful life they can.
Through the course of therapy, I help my clients process and work through difficult emotions that inevitably occur in life. I enjoy working with OCD (including scrupulosity or religious OCD), PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression.

Rayo enjoys working in a variety of settings, from individual counseling to co-facilitating groups. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that all people are inherently capable—sometimes they just need a little support. He views mental health as an essential part of overall well-being that cannot be separated from the rest of one’s health. Rayo also believes that people are fundamentally good; when their needs go unmet or they’re in pain, they may struggle with mental health challenges that can cause them to appear “bad” to others.
Rayo recognizes that culture profoundly shapes who we are, often in ways we may not even realize. He intentionally incorporates cultural awareness into his therapeutic approach, understanding its deep impact on mental health. Having moved frequently and lived abroad twice, he has gained a deep appreciation for the richness and beauty of diverse perspectives and experiences.
Rayo finds deep fulfillment in working with individuals and couples seeking to overcome compulsive or problematic sexual behaviors. He is currently a candidate associate for problematic sexual behavior therapist and is on track to complete certification as a Certified (CSAT) within the next year. This specialized training, developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes and overseen by IITAP, equips him to provide evidence-based and compassionate care.
Rayo is passionate about helping clients build greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and intentionality—empowering them to live more authentic and fulfilling lives. He also offers support to partners of those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, providing a safe and nonjudgmental space to process their experiences. In his work with partners, Rayo emphasizes education and understanding, guiding them toward clarity, stability, and healing.
He graduated from BYU-I in 2020 and promptly began his Masters degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health at Idaho State University. He has been working in the clinical setting since February 2021.
