About Eben
Eben Rogers helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and self-esteem struggles. He writes simply and listens carefully to find practical ways forward. Eben is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in California for ten years.
He often supports people dealing with adoption or foster care questions, attachment concerns, and the unique stresses caregivers carry. He also works with people navigating separation, blended family challenges, and issues tied to aging and end-of-life care.
How Eben works
Sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps rather than jargon. Early in his career he worked in residential treatment for youth with serious emotional needs. That time taught him to coordinate with schools, courts, and medical providers when needed.
He now draws on that experience when clients need a therapist who can work alongside other systems. Eben has provided individual therapy in school settings and supported adults with developmental disabilities through a local nonprofit. Those roles shaped his practical, team-minded approach.
He uses straightforward techniques to help people build new habits and repair communication. Outside of work he lives in Santa Cruz and spends free time hiking, surfing, and exploring local rivers and forests with his wife and two daughters. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful for busy people who want relief and clearer everyday routines.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of the techniques Eben uses are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test out new ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-focused techniques emphasize small, achievable steps and strengths to create quick, tangible change in relationships and daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try strategies that fit the client's preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or scheduling around busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
