Background and approach
His work includes attention to attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, and other complex personal histories. His style is adaptable and interactive. He aims to meet each person where they are and emphasizes openness, honesty, and a bit of humor when appropriate.
Sessions include clear communication and collaboration on goals and next steps. Clinically, he draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, among other approaches. Those methods are used to teach new skills, shift patterns of thinking, and improve emotional regulation.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Rodrecus draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems by focusing on concrete steps and skill practice.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present. ACT can be helpful for coping with stress, lingering sadness, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days, provide brief support between sessions, and make it easier to share thoughts without being on camera. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
