How his approaches adapt to online work
Eric often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and pace, helping them set what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior, and uses exercises and small experiments to reduce angry reactions or anxiety.He also uses motivational interviewing to support commitment to change. That approach helps people weigh options, build motivation, and make stepwise plans. These methods are practical to try through conversations and guided exercises during sessions, and they fit issues like anger, addiction, or stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning may shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how appointments will run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with him about what will make sessions workable for your schedule and daily routine.
