About Eric
Eric Aldaco is a licensed marriage and family therapist with sixteen years of experience practicing in California. He starts by listening closely and treating each person as the expert on their own life. He encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and use them to face stressful moments.
He also identifies practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Eric brings a values-informed perspective to sessions and integrates clients' beliefs into the work when requested.
Background and approach
He favors a collaborative, strength-based way of working where clients and therapist set goals together. Sessions move at a pace that feels right for each person, with room for direct conversation and quiet reflection. He commonly helps with concerns around self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.
Eric also addresses relationship and family challenges, including parenting and fatherhood issues. He can support people dealing with immigration stress, questions about life purpose, and multicultural or men's issues. Eric practices using client-centered therapy, which means he focuses on understanding each person's experience and responding without judgment.
He offers sessions in English and Spanish for people in California. Online and phone session options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. People who prefer a faith-informed approach may find his perspective familiar, and those who want a straightforward, supportive listener often do well in his room.
He aims to make the process clear and practical from the first visit.
How client-centered therapy works online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what a person says. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for self-esteem, life changes, and relationship questions.When faith or values matter to a client, the therapist can weave those beliefs into sessions as part of the persons existing strengths and goals. The work is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what methods make the most sense and adjust as needs change.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions offer a simple alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into family and work routines.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
