Background and approach
Erik draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That means using approaches that match the problem at hand, whether it is anxiety, substance use concerns, or mourning a loss. He adapts pacing and tools to what fits each person.
Over decades of practice he has supported people through workplace stress, family of origin concerns, communication problems, and trauma reactions such as post-traumatic stress. He also addresses issues linked to aging and geriatric challenges, social anxiety, forgiveness, guilt, and men's concerns. Sessions can include talking through coping skills, planning behavioral changes, and practicing ways to face difficult feelings.
Erik aims to be sensitive and compassionate while helping clients move toward a more fulfilling life.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Erik uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in ways that are easy to understand and apply. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce avoidance and increase confidence in handling daily pressures. Another approach centers on working through grief and loss by naming feelings, creating routines that support healing, and developing ways to remember and move forward. This helps people manage intense emotions and find new meaning after a loss. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erik will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match what you want to work on. Together you can try options and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful. Online sessions offer flexibility for a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that feels easier. These formats help people fit therapy into their routines and keep momentum between meetings.Questions people ask
