He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and the practical pressures of life changes.

He uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a central approach. He combines that with client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based perspectives when they fit the client's needs. Sessions are described as interactive and straightforward, with emphasis on clear communication and honesty.
Rodrecus aims to avoid stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. His style includes direct feedback, some use of humor, and practical discussion of skills and coping options. He focuses on helping people identify what they can change and what they can live with.
His background includes work across a range of diagnostic and life concerns, including personality-related difficulties, parenting and blended family matters, adoption and foster care issues, and sexuality and kink-related topics. He notes experience with trauma, abuse, and grief as well.
People who prefer a frank, interactive therapist who uses CBT-informed techniques and values openness may find his approach a fit. Sessions are available in English and he works from a South Carolina practice context.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking action toward what matters. ACT can help with feeling stuck, low motivation, and stress about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relationship patterns and early connection, which can help when intimacy, trust, or attachment issues come up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed so the work fits the person's situation and goals.
Confirm the session formats directly before booking, because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who prefer not to travel. Licensed professionals can use different techniques in remote sessions, including skills coaching, behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation, all adapted to the online setting.
