About Orion
Orion Block is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Rhode Island and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada with eight years of clinical experience. Orion works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Orion describes a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on a person’s strengths, beliefs, and abilities while helping them build independence and clearer day-to-day coping. Practical strategies and reflective conversation are used side by side.
Clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness therapy, and client-centered techniques. These are applied to issues such as gender and sexuality concerns, bipolar mood challenges, eating and body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and adoption or attachment-related questions. Orion also lists work with kink, BDSM, nonmonogamy, and sexual identity concerns.
Orion brings more than a decade of community organizing and education experience on race, women’s, and LGBTQIA+ questions to clinical work. That background informs how they discuss social context, identity, and the practical effects of stigma on everyday life.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health event, or other life transition will find an approach focused on clarifying values, building small skills, and testing what works in daily life. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Orion commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, which can be useful when feeling directionless after a life change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical experiments that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Orion collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Sessions often combine reflective conversation with concrete exercises so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. When offered, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Orion will discuss which session structure best suits a client’s needs during the initial matching and scheduling process.
