About Eric

Eric Losada is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. He works from New York and speaks English and Spanish. Eric focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and life transitions in a straightforward, practical way.

He aims to build an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Eric brings a hands-on style and works with adults and couples to set clear goals and make gradual changes.

Background and approach

He believes people have the inner resources to heal and grow, and he helps them find those strengths. Eric combines several evidence-informed methods to fit each person. He draws on attachment ideas to look at how close relationships shape patterns.

He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also applies emotion-focused tools to help partners and individuals communicate feelings more clearly. In sessions he is collaborative and practical.

He offers concrete tools for coping, improving communication, and managing mood or addictive behaviors. He also supports parents working through parenting concerns and family dynamics. Clients can expect direct, compassionate feedback and a plan that matches their pace.

Eric tailors work to real-life needs, whether the focus is on grief, career decisions, intimacy, or ongoing mood concerns. He accepts international clients and works with people in English and Spanish.

How Eric’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. In sessions this looks like mapping patterns in relationships, naming unmet needs, and practicing new ways of responding to loved ones. It can help with relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and family problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. This approach is practical and goal oriented.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will talk with each person or couple about goals and preferences, and decide together which methods fit best. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist adjusts plans collaboratively.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel. They also let therapists share exercises, check in between sessions, and keep progress moving even when life is busy.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
