About Eric
Eric Clayburn is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting or family concerns. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. His approach prioritizes clear tools and small steps that fit into busy lives.
He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and emotional regulation. He also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building strategies that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Clients can expect straightforward guidance aimed at real-world change. Conversations move between identifying patterns and practicing skills to handle difficult moments.
Eric keeps language simple and works to make plans easy to try between sessions. With eight years of clinical experience, Eric has worked with people dealing with addictions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, and intimacy or relationship struggles. He also has experience addressing issues such as adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism spectrum considerations, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood-related topics.
People often bring concerns like coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, divorce or separation, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, or communication problems. Eric aims to help clients break larger problems into manageable steps and practice new ways of responding in daily life.
How practical therapies work online
Eric often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems active. CBT teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and stress that people can practice between sessions.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT focuses on skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and healthy communication to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eric will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try strategies together to see what helps most.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives. Video calls let people talk face to face, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging offer more flexible ways to check in. These options can help maintain continuity of care and make ongoing skill practice more reachable for people juggling work, parenting, and other demands.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
