About Eriq

Eriq Rory is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. He brings six years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use to manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood challenges, and life transitions. He centers sessions on the client's experience and strengths, and encourages clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory.

He uses a conversational, down-to-earth style. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what the client wants to change.

Background and approach

He listens for values, goals, and small changes that add up over time. Therapy can include skill-building, guided reflection, and planning for real-life situations. Eriq draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.

These methods guide work on anxiety, mood, communication problems, ADHD, sleep, intimacy issues, and career concerns. He adapts techniques to each person rather than following a rigid plan. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging with messaging support between meetings.

Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, a parent or individual completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Ohio licensure is LPCC, Ohio LPCC E.2303331.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and personal challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while directing energy toward chosen values and actions. It can help when worry, low motivation, or life changes get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on finding and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and practical skills like sleep routines or managing anger.

Choosing a method is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches likely to fit. Over time techniques are adjusted based on what works for the client and the family priorities they identify.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy households. Messaging support between appointments can help keep progress on track and provide quick check-ins. This flexibility helps people balance therapy with work, parenting, and other responsibilities while using evidence-informed methods adapted to the online setting.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
