About Eric
Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. He communicates clearly and focuses on building a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and involved in their progress.
He draws on 22 years of clinical experience and a background in applied psychology and marriage and family therapy. That experience informs short-term skills work and deeper conversations about values, purpose, and relationship patterns.
How Eric works
Sessions combine hands-on tools with reflective discussion about life choices. Eric uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential thinking, and elements of the Gottman Method. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and clarify what matters most to them.
That mix lets him match strategies to the specific concern at hand. Common areas he addresses include attachment and communication problems, commitment and control issues, infidelity and separation, and family of origin concerns. He also works with impulsivity, guilt and shame, dissociation, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions aim to make manageable changes that improve daily life. Clients can expect a cooperative style where the therapist explains options and helps pick practical next steps. The goal is clearer thinking, more effective choices, and relationships that feel more satisfying over time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and situation. Sessions often combine techniques from different approaches so the plan matches what the client needs and prefers.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing, short-form contact. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
