About Eric
Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor based in Washington. He brings 14 years of counseling experience and a calm, conversational style to sessions. He listens without judgment and helps people clarify what matters most to them.
Eric centers sessions on understanding each person's view of their life. He asks focused questions to help make thoughts clearer. He validates strengths and uses collaborative problem solving to turn ideas into practical steps.
Background and approach
He works at the pace a person prefers, whether that means talking things through slowly or making quicker decisions and planning next steps. Typical sessions run 30 to 45 minutes, and longer 55 to 60 minute sessions are possible when needed. Career and workplace concerns are a common focus.
Eric supports people who want to stay in a difficult job, prepare to leave, or explore new career or educational paths and the feelings that come with those choices. Relationship concerns and parenting issues are also areas he addresses, with attention to communication and coping during life changes.
Many people begin by talking through what feels overwhelming and then take small steps that improve day-to-day outlooks. Eric prefers in-person work but also offers phone and remote options. He aims to bring warmth, clear listening, and even a touch of humor to make the work feel manageable and human.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Eric uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person's own experience and priorities, listening deeply and helping each person make sense of their situation. This approach helps when someone needs a reflective space to sort feelings and values.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Solution-focused therapy is another tool he draws on when people want to move quickly from problem talk to practical steps. This method concentrates on small, achievable goals and immediate next actions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is close to an in-person feel, phone can allow focused spoken conversation with less bandwidth, and chat or text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
