About Eric
Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Washington. He brings 14 years of counseling experience and a calm, conversational style to sessions. People often notice his steady listening and straightforward approach when they first meet him.
He starts by trying to see the situation through each person's eyes. He asks plain questions that help clarify what matters and looks for practical next steps. He values humor, strengths, and honest talk as tools to reduce stress and build momentum.
Background and approach
Eric helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and questions about career direction. He also supports those working on relationships, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and life changes. Communication problems, divorce and separation, life purpose, and workplace issues are frequent topics he addresses.
Sessions move at the client’s pace. Some people prefer longer 55 to 60 minute conversations; others choose the more common 30 to 45 minute check-ins. He works collaboratively on problem solving and decision planning so clients can try small steps between meetings.
Eric trained in Counseling Psychology at UCLA and has spent years in education and counseling programs. That background shapes his interest in career and workplace matters and in helping people bring clearer thinking to tough choices. He is comfortable working remotely by phone or other online formats as well as in person.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood; online sessions let the therapist and client talk through concerns and find direction together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to create practical changes, which works well in virtual sessions where homework and short exercises can be shared and reviewed. Solution-focused therapy zooms in on goals and small steps, making it useful when someone wants quick, action-oriented planning over a series of remote meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will happen collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they like to work, then suggest which methods to try first and adjust the plan as needed. That shared decision-making helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions offer focused spoken work and lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text let people check in between longer sessions or use shorter, frequent contacts for coaching-style support. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
