About Eric
Eric Martinez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with five years of experience based in Texas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQ issues, including those who are questioning gender or sexuality. He also focuses on social anxiety and phobia and supports veterans and first responders with role-related struggles.
Eric keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens for how someone makes sense of their life and what gets in the way of everyday functioning. Conversations often cover triggers, patterns of avoidance, and small steps toward manageable change. Clients can expect clear explanations and straightforward strategies to try between sessions.
His clinical foundation draws on existential-phenomenological psychology, which pays attention to how people experience identity, purpose, and connection. That perspective is paired with evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. The result is an approach that attends to both meaning and measurable change.
Eric has worked with young adults and men navigating identity, people processing trauma, and individuals looking to reduce anxiety or improve self-direction. He also supports those dealing with impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Work in sessions can include developing practical routines, refining communication, and practicing exposure to feared situations.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Before scheduling, prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session format options and the subscription-based fee structure that varies by location.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Eric draws from existential-phenomenological ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The existential-phenomenological side looks at how someone understands identity, purpose, and connection, helping to uncover what gives their day-to-day meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small, specific changes to reduce anxiety or avoidance.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Eric will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and personal style. That process may include trying short behavioral experiments, practicing exposure to feared social situations in steps, or developing routines to manage attention and impulsivity.
