About Eben
Eben Rogers is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with relationship strains, family stress, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Eben also helps with issues tied to adoption, attachment, autism, and end-of-life caregiving.
He spent many years running individual and group work in schools and community programs. That included individual therapy with students, family groups, and social learning groups at an elementary school in Soquel. He has worked with a local nonprofit providing residential care for adults with developmental disabilities, and he draws on that experience when supporting clients who interact with multiple systems.
Early in his career he worked as a social worker in a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. There he provided group and individual therapy and coordinated with social services, medical providers, and teachers. Those responsibilities shaped his approach to collaboration and practical problem solving.
Eben uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. In sessions he helps people identify steps they can take, test small changes, and track what works. He also works with parents on communication, behavior strategies, and coping around major life events.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He lives in Santa Cruz and spends free time hiking, surfing, and with his wife and two daughters.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Eben uses are straightforward to adapt to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short experiments, which is useful for social anxiety or communication practice. Solution-focused strategies emphasize setting specific, small goals and tracking progress week to week, which can make sessions feel concrete and action-oriented.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eben will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life, and he adjusts methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from quieter surroundings without travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice real-life skills, review homework, and coordinate with schools or other providers when helpful.
