About Eric

Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor who centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens without judgment, asks clarifying questions, and looks for practical steps clients can try. He aims to validate strengths, offer calm feedback, and use a bit of humor when it helps.

Many clients appreciate a steady presence whether they want slower reflection or quicker action. He trained in counseling psychology at UCLA and has practiced for 14 years.

Background and approach

His work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. He also offers coaching around career decisions and workplace issues, and helps with parenting challenges and relationship strains. Eric describes his style as collaborative and adaptable.

He will help people talk through options and then plan small, manageable steps. Sessions are intended to fit each person’s pace, whether that means deeper, slower exploration or shorter, solution-focused work. Typical sessions run about 30 to 45 minutes, though he can extend some meetings to 55 to 60 minutes when needed.

He values real conversation and the chance to build a trusting connection over time. Based in Washington, Eric combines years in education and counseling programs with a preference for spoken conversation. He often uses phone or video when that format better suits someone’s needs, and he supports people who are seeking clearer direction in life and work.

How Eric’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard, sort out feelings, and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that can ease anxiety, depression, or work stress.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit conversations into busy schedules, handle short check-ins, or use longer phone or video time when deeper work is needed. For many people, the ability to connect from home or work reduces logistical barriers and keeps progress steady.

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.

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.

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.
