Background and approach

He uses an approach that looks at how people make meaning of their lives and how that shapes their feelings and choices. Alongside that perspective, he integrates evidence-based techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. The result is a mix of reflective conversation and concrete skills practice.

Eric often addresses concerns that include LGBT issues, sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, and first responder or veteran-related stress. He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose or masculinity. His coaching background helps when clients want practical plans and accountability.

Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled through an online matching process. He accepts clients across locations, and works with different session formats to fit varied routines. Eric aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first visit.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Eric blends meaning-focused therapy with evidence-based techniques to address anxiety and related concerns. Existential-phenomenological work involves talking about how someone makes sense of their life, identity, and purpose, which can help when anxiety ties to big life questions or identity stress. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns, which is useful for panic, worry, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as they go, mixing reflective work with practical skill-building when that is a better fit.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people schedule brief check-ins, share thoughts between appointments, and keep momentum when time is tight. These options help people keep therapy going during busy weeks or when travel makes in-person visits hard.
