About Eben
Eben Rogers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on parents and individuals coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and low self-esteem. He brings calm, direct support so people can figure out the next practical step. His style aims to make sessions clear and manageable for busy caregivers.
He has practiced in California for a decade, including work in schools and residential settings. That experience involved one-on-one therapy, group work, and coordinating care with teachers, medical providers, and social services.
Background and approach
Those roles taught him how to navigate systems on behalf of clients when extra coordination is needed. Eben has worked with adults and children affected by developmental differences, such as autism and Down syndrome, and with caregivers facing burnout or end-of-life issues. He also has experience supporting people through adoption and foster-care questions, fatherhood concerns, and blended-family transitions.
His background includes work at an elementary school and a nonprofit residential program. In sessions he uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He helps parents and individuals set realistic goals, practice new communication habits, and try small changes between visits.
He aims to keep therapy practical and focused on what matters most to the client. Outside of work he enjoys hiking, surfing, and spending time with his wife and two daughters. Living in the Santa Cruz area keeps him connected to the outdoors, which he names as an important source of balance.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
He draws on commonly used, evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world change. One approach centers on building practical communication skills to reduce conflict and improve parenting routines; it helps people practice new ways of talking and setting boundaries. Another approach emphasizes goal-focused, solution-oriented work that identifies specific problems and experiments with small steps to test what helps most between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews a client's goals, family rhythms, and comfort with different formats, and then suggests methods to try. Progress is checked together so techniques can be adjusted if something isn't working.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video sessions allow fuller face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and texting supports quick reflections or reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy family life.
