How Eric’s Approaches Work Online

Eric uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts that increase worry or low mood and then test new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on clear steps and homework you can practice between sessions.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can help when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try tools in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. That way the work fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and text or chat work well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family schedules.
