About Eriq

Eriq Rory is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC, OH LPCC E.2303331) with six years of clinical experience supporting people through a range of mood and life concerns.

Background and approach

He draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges while also addressing self-esteem, sleep difficulties, anger, and career-related worries. His work also includes support for LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coaching-oriented goals.

Rory emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life. He integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness strategies to build skills for coping with change and improving communication and relationships.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, goal-oriented steps while honoring a client’s values and personal story. He offers video-based sessions with messaging support between meetings and encourages those taking the first step toward therapy by acknowledging how courageous it can feel to begin.

CBT, ACT, and Mindful Support Online

Rory commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify their values and develop willingness-based skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness therapy appears as another thread in his work, offering attention-based practices that can reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work; he approaches that decision collaboratively, asking about a person’s goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they experiment with techniques and tailor the plan so it fits the client’s needs rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and allow ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to connect from home or work and to maintain momentum with brief check-ins or messaging support alongside regular video meetings.
