About Eric
Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience. He practices in Nevada and speaks English. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, anger, and self-esteem.
Eric aims for a straightforward, collaborative working style. He listens closely and then helps clients build skills to change unhelpful thoughts and actions. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person and on steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address recurring worries and stuck patterns. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how he holds sessions, with an emphasis on understanding the client's point of view and goals. He also uses ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern.
Common topics he addresses include communication problems, commitment issues, attachment and family of origin concerns, guilt, shame, and the fallout of separation or infidelity. He also helps people facing impulsivity, control issues, dissociation, and questions about life purpose. Eric describes therapy as a partnership.
He works with clients to set clear goals and to practice new ways of thinking and behaving. The aim is steady progress so people feel more in charge of daily stress and anxiety.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can be useful for ongoing anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance from the therapist so clients feel heard and can clarify their own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then tailor methods to fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and adjusted based on what is most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for ongoing, short communications. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit therapy into daily life.
