Background and approach

Sessions can be shorter check-ins or extended conversations when more time is useful. Eric draws on client-centered work that starts from how a person sees their world. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way.

He also uses solution-focused strategies to build small, doable steps toward change. People who prefer talking by phone will find that format familiar and present for him, though he is comfortable with a range of remote methods. He aims to be supportive and straightforward, with occasional humor when it fits.

Eric earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles and spent much of his career in education and counseling programs. He now offers appointments through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Eric’s Methods Work Online and by Phone

Eric uses client-centered therapy to begin by seeing the world from the person's perspective and asking questions that clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk things through and feel heard before deciding what to change.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, low mood, and practical problems at work. Solution-focused therapy is used to define clear goals and build step-by-step plans, which can be useful for career choices, relationship concerns, or parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Eric will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, cognitive work, or solution-focused steps, and adjustments are made as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have a richer back-and-forth, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a focused conversation fits better. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
