About Eric
Eric Aldaco is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience. He frames therapy around each person's strengths and life story. He invites people to take the first step toward change and offers calm, nonjudgmental support as they do so.
He approaches care from a Christian perspective and integrates those values when clients want that included. He works in a collaborative, strength-based way and centers the person's goals during sessions.
Background and approach
He encourages clear, practical steps rather than long lists of abstract goals. Eric focuses on issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, family concerns, parenting, and anger. He also brings attention to fatherhood issues, forgiveness, immigration concerns, life purpose, men's topics, and multicultural matters.
Conversations stay focused on what matters most to the client and on achievable next steps. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Eric offers several remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level.
He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting. People who prefer a therapist who listens, reflects, and builds on their strengths may find his style helpful. He supports clients who want to fold their faith into therapy when that is important to them.

Client-centered care delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace and priorities. This approach helps people who need support building self-esteem, managing life changes, and sorting through relationship or parenting concerns.Eric integrates a strengths-based, collaborative stance so the client and therapist decide together what to try next. That means goals, pace, and methods are adjusted to fit each person's needs, values, and circumstances. The therapist will help identify which approaches feel most useful and adapt them over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use a written format that feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy family and work schedules.
