Background and approach
These approaches are applied to issues such as depression, ADHD, grief, anger, relationship strain, and challenges related to identity and sexual orientation. Eric has a background that includes addiction counseling and work in a variety of settings. That experience informs his work with process addictions, drug and alcohol concerns, post-traumatic stress, and co-occurring problems.
He has supported people through divorce and separation, parenting stress, and persistent mental health struggles. Sessions often focus on concrete skills - thinking habits, coping strategies, motivation, and short-term problem solving. Eric aims to help people spot patterns, try different responses, and build on small successes.
He avoids labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. People who want a pragmatic, steady approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and attention to life circumstances may find his style helpful. Eric frames therapy as a shared process and works at a pace the client prefers.
How Eric’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building sessions around their goals. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client sets the pace and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavioral changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching coping skills and ways to test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people find their own reasons to change, which can be useful for addictions and lifestyle shifts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your needs and preferences, suggest ways to try different methods, and adjust the plan as you go. That means sessions can move from listening to skill-building or problem-solving based on what helps most for your concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving practical options for different situations. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and allow ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still using the approaches described above.
