Eric Foraker, LMFT

Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Nevada with 22 years of experience. He combines practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and relationship struggles. Eric writes and speaks plainly in sessions so clients can take small, useful steps right away.

He trained in applied psychology and completed post-master's work in marriage and family therapy. Eric uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and client-centered approaches to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. He also draws on existential ideas and the Gottman Method when relationships and meaning are central concerns.

In therapy he focuses on clear goals and concrete skills. People learn ways to change unhelpful thinking, tolerate difficult feelings, and repair communication. He supports work on attachment patterns, impulsivity, forgiveness, and life purpose when those themes come up.

Sessions move at a steady pace and stay practical. Eric helps with divorce and separation issues, family of origin problems, commitment and control issues, and challenges tied to guilt or shame. His aim is to help clients notice patterns and practice different choices.

He sees clients who want to improve self-esteem, work through infidelity and rebuild trust, or reduce the pull of addictive behaviors. Eric welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How online CBT and acceptance approaches work

Eric uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, practical exercises, and homework that people can use between meetings to see real change.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build willingness to feel difficult emotions while moving toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy shapes his manner in session, with a respectful, listening stance that lets clients set the pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then choose techniques that fit their needs. The process is collaborative, adjusting methods as progress and feedback indicate.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills together and read body language, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports steady reminders and short reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
