About Eric
Eric Martinez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people make practical changes in their day-to-day lives. He sees people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with self-esteem, exploring sexual or gender identity, or navigating challenges related to ADHD. He also offers coaching-style support for people trying to clarify goals and purpose.
Eric draws on an existential-phenomenological outlook to learn how each person makes meaning in their life.
Background and approach
That approach helps him ask concrete questions about values, choices, and what matters now. He pairs those conversations with evidence-based techniques to address thinking patterns and behaviors that keep people stuck. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused.
Eric uses practical exercises, talking through patterns, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. He also addresses related concerns such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, social anxiety, and issues faced by veterans and first responders. Over five years of practice he has worked with people from diverse backgrounds who are looking for honest conversation and direction.
Eric offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by online formats. He encourages a collaborative process where clients and he set the pace and goals together. People typically begin by naming one or two changes they want.
From there Eric helps build steps that fit daily life, whether that means short coaching tasks or deeper therapeutic work.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Eric blends a focus on meaning with practical techniques. One approach centers on exploring how a person makes sense of their life and choices. This helps people facing identity questions, life purpose concerns, or uncertainty about next steps to clarify values and priorities.He also uses cognitive-behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Those techniques teach simple exercises to test beliefs, reduce anxious reactions, and build new routines for better day-to-day functioning. Together these approaches help with anxiety, low self-esteem, social worries, and ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching tasks, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, school, or other commitments.
