About Rodrecus

Rodrecus Atkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years working in the mental health field. He supports people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and many everyday struggles. He aims to create an honest, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Sessions are conversational and interactive. He brings openness, humility, and a sense of humor to the work.

Rodrecus focuses on practical change. He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and build new habits that fit real life. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with sensitivity and respect.

People come for help with relationships, parenting strain, career stress, grief, trauma, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. His practice includes attention to boundary and attachment concerns.

He encourages taking small, steady steps toward goals. The process is collaborative: he listens, offers feedback, and helps design plans that clients can try between sessions. Those ready to begin pick a Start Therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

How different approaches shape online work

Rodrecus uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems by breaking issues into concrete steps and experiments.

He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when helpful. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action. That approach can help with stress, addiction-related urges, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques and are adjusted over time based on what the client notices is working.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, hold shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow steady work on skills between appointments, with homework and practical exercises that fit into everyday life.
