About Eric
Eric Katz is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of practice. He is based in New York and brings practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress and anxiety. He helps people cope with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.

Background and approach
Eric uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. He also integrates skills from dialectical behavior approaches to manage intense emotions and build distress tolerance.
Over 26 years he has helped people develop real tools for day-to-day life. His style is practical and collaborative - he talks things through with clients and sets doable goals together. People leave sessions with techniques they can use between meetings.
He aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel overwhelmed. If someone wants a calm, steady professional to guide them through anxiety or past hurts, he offers a supportive place to start.
Working with ACT, CBT, and DBT Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that match those values, which can help with persistent anxiety or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That teamwork helps tailor sessions to real-life needs rather than sticking to a single model.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can be a good alternative with lower data needs, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coping skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and to use the approaches above in everyday life.
