About Orion
Orion Block is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Rhode Island. Orion brings eight years of therapy experience together with more than 15 years of community organizing and education on race, women’s, and LGBTQIA+ topics. They work in a straightforward, respectful manner and center the person's own knowledge about their life.
Orion uses a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their experience. Sessions focus on building independence and using strengths, beliefs, and skills the client already has. The aim is practical progress on issues that matter to the client rather than jargon or labels.
Common concerns Orion addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, and self esteem. They also work with challenges such as grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, eating and body image issues, and relationship and intimacy questions. Gender and sexuality are a primary focus, including transgender and gender non-conforming people and those navigating a range of sexual identities and relationship structures.
Orion also supports people facing family of origin issues, adoption and foster care matters, abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, hoarding, and communication or commitment struggles. Their background in community work informs an intersectional view of how identity and systems shape everyday life.
Therapy with Orion often blends acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral tools alongside motivational interviewing and narrative approaches. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at helping people find sustainable ways to manage difficult feelings and make meaningful changes.
