How Eric works
Sessions center on clear goals, realistic steps, and steady support. Eric uses short-term strategies as well as deeper conversations. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
He also uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and solution-focused work to set small, doable goals. Clients can expect a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect and compassion. Eric prefers collaborative work - he listens, offers practical tools, and checks in about what is and isn't working.
The tone is direct but supportive, aimed at reducing stress and improving day-to-day functioning. Common issues he addresses include addiction and substance concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, relationship and communication problems, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT topics.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online therapy
Eric often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and many everyday struggles where thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.He also applies Motivational Interviewing to build a person’s readiness for change. This approach focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and helps turn ambivalence into action, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts tools and pace based on progress and what the person finds most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, quick skill practice, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum between sessions.
