About Eric
Eric Aldaco is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 16 years of experience. He frames therapy around each person's strengths and life story. He welcomes conversations in English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are.
He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a respectful, faith-informed viewpoint to sessions. Eric says taking the first step takes courage, and he focuses on practical ways to move forward.
How Eric works
He draws on client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's goals and priorities. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Eric listens first, then helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings.
He pays attention to identity, purpose, and the cultural or immigration stresses that shape daily life. He also addresses fatherhood questions, anger, forgiveness, and issues around self-esteem. People find this style useful when they want a therapist who combines everyday language with clear direction.
Eric uses a strength-based approach that highlights what already works, then builds on it. He integrates personal faith perspectives when relevant to the client. Appointments can be arranged to suit different schedules and communication preferences.
Eric aims to make sessions understandable, grounded, and focused on next steps toward a more meaningful life.

Online support options
Client-centered care online and faith-informed support
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace so the work stays relevant. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, navigating life changes, and clarifying personal values.Eric also brings a faith-informed viewpoint when clients want it included. That perspective can shape discussions about forgiveness, purpose, and moral questions. Clients decide how much their beliefs shape the work, and the therapist adapts his approach accordingly.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, preferences, and what they hope to change. From there they choose how to combine client-centered methods and any faith-based themes in a collaborative plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.
