About Eric
Eric Rangel Oliveira welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or low mood. He writes plainly and offers steady support for those who want to change behaviour, manage daily stressors, or improve relationships. Eric speaks English and Portuguese and draws on four years of clinical experience in Australia.
He works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions and impulse control problems. He also helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, social anxiety and issues linked to attachment or abandonment.
Background and approach
Eric uses practical tools to help people spot patterns and try alternatives in everyday life. His approach is trauma-informed and client-centred. Sessions focus on building coping skills, managing strong emotions and developing healthy routines.
He aims to help people increase confidence and regain a sense of control over daily life. Eric uses several evidence-based methods depending on the person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural work to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness to improve awareness.
He also includes motivational strategies when behaviour change is the main goal. Eric holds accreditation with the Australian Association of Social Workers, shown as AASW. He moved to Australia from Brazil eight years ago and brings cross-cultural perspective to his practice.
The tone in sessions is non-judgemental and collaborative, helping people set realistic steps and try them out between appointments.
How Eric combines practical approaches in online therapy
Eric commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and to build small routine changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. He also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Eric works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. He will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when not being on camera is preferable. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, study and family life.
