Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Eric uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tension, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. Cognitive-based approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve decision making. Behavioral strategies emphasize small changes in action - for example experiments with social situations or step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eric will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. He checks in and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter or more frequent appointments when that helps with practice and momentum.
