Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions

Eric often draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person. That approach helps when a person needs a calm space to sort through parenting stress, grief, or anxiety and to decide what changes matter most.

He also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple breathing and attention practices. These tools can reduce reactivity and help with sleep, anger, and stress by giving people concrete ways to pause and regroup. Narrative therapy appears in sessions as well, helping people reframe difficult stories and notice strengths they may have overlooked.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. This collaborative process means techniques are tailored to your needs rather than applied all at once.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or follow-up between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
