About Rodrecus
Rodrecus Atkinson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 11 years of experience in counseling and mental health. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, relationship strain, and other life challenges. He also lists work related to addiction, ADHD, grief, intimacy issues, and career concerns.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach and draws on other styles when helpful. Sessions are conversational and interactive. He aims to be direct and honest, and uses simple techniques to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors.
Many adults seek his help for family and parenting concerns, or for problems that affect home life such as sleep, eating, anger, and communication. He also supports people navigating attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family tensions, and questions around identity and intimacy.
His style mixes practical tools with reflective talk. He uses DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed, and attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. He combines those with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people find actions that match their values.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the next steps. That can mean short behavioral experiments, skill practice between visits, or talking through a plan for a difficult conversation. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. Online sessions can use ACT to set small, doable steps for home and parenting life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT works well for anxiety, sleep, eating, and everyday mood concerns in a series of focused sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from past relationships to explain current reactions; it can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those aims. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve. Session format details are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports doing between-session tasks in the context of everyday life, such as practicing a skill at home or scheduling a focused behavior experiment.Areas of focus
