He uses approaches that center the person’s perspective. Erick listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them. He balances looking at the past with making choices for the present.
How Erick works
Sessions typically focus on small, achievable goals and clearer ways to cope day to day. Erick draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical skills to manage intense feelings. He also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and experiences.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Many people bring issues like attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, body image struggles, or difficulties with caregiving and cancer-related stress. Erick also addresses patterns tied to codependency, substance problems, commitment and communication challenges, and separation or divorce.
He supports work around family of origin and fatherhood concerns as they relate to an individual’s emotional health. Sessions are offered in English and can include video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Erick invites people to ask questions and explore whether his style fits their needs.

How Erick’s approaches translate to online care
Erick blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address common problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities, helping people clarify values and goals. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem issues. DBT offers skills for tolerating intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can help with trauma-related reactivity and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Erick will talk with the person about what they want to change and will try different methods to find what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape session goals and the mix of skills, reflection, and practical tasks used between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit shorter check-ins into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options make it possible to get consistent support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
