About Eric
Eric Mason is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with thirteen years of combined experience in substance use and mental health work. He practices in Nevada and focuses on clear, practical help for parents and individuals facing stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. He emphasizes respect and straightforward conversation in sessions.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in addiction studies and completed a Master of Social Work in 2015.
Background and approach
That education supports a background in both addiction services and general mental health care. His credentials are listed as IA LISW and NE LIMHP and he practices in Nevada. In sessions he keeps the tone warm and interactive.
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and small behavior changes. He also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ways of working to follow the client’s goals and priorities. Parents often come for help with parenting stress, communication problems, or the emotional fallout of major life changes.
He also supports people navigating trauma, relationship troubles, mood disorders, and issues tied to addiction. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with steps you can try between meetings. Eric offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with his practice and schedule.

Approaches and how they work online
Eric commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening deeply, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping goals from the client’s priorities rather than imposing a plan.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach is helpful for substance use and for starting difficult conversations about parenting, relationships, or health. All of these methods are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together which approach fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets you use visual cues and work in real time, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or when typing helps you express things more clearly. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
