Background and approach
Sessions often combine practical skill building with deeper reflection about values and meaning. Erick draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and DBT ideas to manage intense emotions. He also uses client-centered and existential approaches to support personal choice and purpose.
People come to Erick for a range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief. He regularly addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, substance use, body image, and family-of-origin wounds. He helps people untangle patterns that affect relationships and daily functioning.
Erick aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients feel heard. He encourages small, steady steps and checks progress as therapy continues. If someone is weighing options, he offers an initial conversation to see if his style fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist prioritizes understanding the person’s experience and uses that as the basis for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage distress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and practical skills for handling intense moments and improving relationships. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erick will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and manageable. Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into daily life.Questions people ask
