Eriq Rory

Eriq Rory is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life transitions. He emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation to help people move forward.

He views each client as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with the therapist offering tools and feedback rather than lecturing. He uses everyday language and aims for straightforward, usable strategies.

Past work has included helping people with motivation, confidence, sleeping problems, career questions, and coping after big life changes. He also supports issues around sexuality and LGBT concerns, communication problems, family of origin challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. He brings a focus on mood regulation and self-worth into sessions.

Eriq uses a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. He adapts these methods to the person in front of him and the problems they want to solve.

He primarily meets by video and offers messaging between sessions for ongoing support. To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their needs. He encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that asking for help is often difficult.

How his approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small, committed actions toward those values rather than trying to eliminate every unpleasant feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical strategies that change behavior and mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains basic attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist treats the choice as a collaboration, trying methods and checking what helps most. He adapts techniques to the client's goals, needs, and day-to-day life instead of using the same plan for everyone.

Eriq primarily meets people by video and provides messaging support between sessions. If you want to confirm the exact session formats offered now, check the booking details before you schedule. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and let someone use video or just voice depending on comfort and bandwidth.
