Eben Rogers, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Eben

Eben Rogers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on relationship and family concerns. He works with parents and families dealing with parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem, and relationship stress. He writes plainly and listens closely, helping families find practical steps they can try at home.

Rogers brings a decade of practice in California settings to his work. He has provided individual and group therapy in schools and residential programs.

Background and approach

That experience includes supporting students, families, and adults with developmental disabilities in everyday life and in caregiving settings. Earlier in his career he worked as a social worker in a residential treatment facility for children and teens with emotional and behavioral needs. There he led groups, coordinated with social services, and partnered with teachers and medical providers to shape care plans.

Those years taught him how to work alongside other systems when parents and families need that support. He uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused tools to help people make concrete changes. In sessions he prioritizes clear communication, practical goals, and strategies families can use between meetings.

He draws on school and residential experience to help families navigate schools, courts, or other professionals when needed. Rogers holds a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz and the California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT. He lives in Santa Cruz and spends free time outdoors with his wife and two daughters.

Approaches that translate well to online family therapy

Rogers commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which help identify unhelpful thoughts and build different patterns of thinking and behavior. These methods are useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting challenges where small changes can make daily life easier.

He also applies solution-focused approaches that concentrate on practical steps and clear goals. This style helps families and parents set short-term targets and try specific strategies between sessions to see what works.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with you about concerns, goals, and family routines and then recommend approaches that fit your needs. That collaboration guides which techniques are emphasized in sessions and how homework or practice is shaped.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet around busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins or more frequent support. These formats make it easier to connect from home, coordinate with other caregivers, and bring real-life situations into the conversation.
