He helps people navigate major life shifts like divorce, separation, or caregiving challenges and offers guidance around substance use and trauma recovery.

Erick uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on clear, usable strategies.

People who want to begin can expect a respectful, steady process where the therapist and client decide together what will help. Erick invites those considering therapy to reach out so they can see if the fit feels right.

How Erick’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy

Erick blends client-centered listening with concrete cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior techniques. Client-centered work begins by listening closely to what matters most to the person and building on existing strengths to set goals. Cognitive behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors to create practical steps for managing anxiety, stress, and mood. Dialectical behavior techniques teach skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Erick will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helpful. That means the first few sessions often focus on understanding priorities and testing simple strategies together.

If you are interested in online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find they can practice new skills between meetings and bring those experiences back to therapy for problem solving and adjustments.
