About Rodrecus

Rodrecus Atkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience in mental health work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, addiction, and other life challenges. He practices in South Carolina and speaks English.

Over more than a decade Rodrecus has worked with many concerns, including attention differences, mood shifts, trauma and grief, parenting strains, and career stress. He aims to meet people where they are and avoid stigmatizing labels. He describes his style as adaptable and straightforward.

In sessions he uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, and a client-centered approach.

Rodrecus emphasizes openness, honesty, and a bit of humor when appropriate. He encourages interaction in the room and focuses on sensitivity and respect. He works with clients to set goals and try changes that feel sustainable.

If someone is ready to take a step toward feeling better, he supports them through the process. To begin, a person would choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small committed actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to better manage intense emotions and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rodrecus will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He aims to tailor sessions so the chosen strategies match what a person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the approaches above to teach skills, review homework, and practice new ways of responding during remote sessions.
