About Rodrecus

Rodrecus Atkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years in the mental health field. He practices in South Carolina and uses straightforward, practical talk to help people navigate hard moments. He aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where clients can name struggles and try new ways to cope.

He often works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when they fit a person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be interactive and focused on small, doable steps that move someone forward. His style is open and honest. He uses plain language, a little humor when appropriate, and clear feedback rather than jargon.

He aims to avoid labels that shame and instead helps people understand patterns and choices. Rodrecus has experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and grief. He also notes work with areas such as body image, communication problems, blended family issues, and compassion fatigue.

Therapy sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then taking small steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles around change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns people learned early on and helps build safer ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are available for those who prefer voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share between sessions or use shorter check-ins. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
