Rodrecus Atkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 11 years of experience in the counseling and mental health field. He works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, OCD, personality-related issues, and behavioral disorders. He also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, body image and eating concerns, intimacy and sexual-health questions, and life transitions.

His practice is informed by cognitive behavioral therapy while remaining adaptable to each person he meets. He blends transparency, openness, and honest interaction with humility and a sense of warmth, using humor where appropriate to reduce tension and build rapport. He aims to meet clients where they are in their therapeutic journey and to avoid stigmatizing labels, instead offering respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care.

Rodrecus emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people take practical steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling relationships. He welcomes adults seeking support for stress, coping, self-esteem, parenting, addictions, grief, or other mental health concerns, and is available to begin work with new clients who are ready to take the next step.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Rodrecus draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing behaviors and thoughts that contribute to emotional distress, making it useful for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes learning to accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for people struggling with avoidance, chronic worry, or low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rodrecus works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time, combining approaches as needed to address relationship concerns, trauma, addiction, or parenting and career challenges.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from the locations where they live. Online formats support ongoing work between sessions and can be tailored to individual schedules and communication styles.
