Background and approach
Meetings are straightforward and focused on real steps that can fit into daily life. In sessions Eric addresses impulsivity, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and process addictions such as problematic pornography use, exercise, or gambling. He also works with seasonal mood changes and issues common for young adults.
Clients can expect help refining concentration, managing motivation, and improving confidence. His style emphasizes sensitivity and practical problem solving. He listens for what matters most and then outlines small experiments to try between sessions.
Progress is measured by changes people notice in daily routines, work, and relationships rather than abstract tests. Eric works with each person to tailor the pace and focus of care. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the first steps clearer and more manageable.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Eric uses evidence-based techniques that focus on building skills and changing routines. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety and improving concentration, such as breaking tasks into manageable steps and using attention exercises. This helps people who struggle with ADHD, procrastination, or low motivation.Another key approach centers on addressing unhelpful patterns like obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. This involves identifying triggers, testing small changes, and practicing new responses until they become easier. It is useful for people dealing with OCD tendencies, process addictions, or repetitive impulses.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods as progress is made. The plan can evolve over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat fit into short breaks or times with lower bandwidth. Text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, or family commitments.
