Eric is calm and understanding. He was a perfect match for me because of his background working with families of addicts. I feel safe in being myself and communicating my concerns. I’m grateful I found him.

- LCSW, LIMHP, LISW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada, Nebraska, and Iowa with over 9 years experience working in substance abuse therapy and over 5 years experience in mental health therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly with an extensive range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, victims of crime, trauma, physical abuse, sex abuse, and LGBTQ issues. I have also helped people who have experienced incarceration and perpetrators of physical abuse.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in addiction studies at Nevada State College in 2011. I continued my education and completed my masters degree in Social Work at the University of New England in 2015.
My counseling approach is inviting, warm, and interactive. I believe in meeting clients where they are at with respect, compassion, and empathy. My approach combines motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, humanistic therapy.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:

He’s been amazing!
He has been responsive and communicates well. We’ve only had one session, but I look forward to more help.
Eric has been incredibly helpful to talk to. He trusts my perception of experiences, but also provides helpful insight and new perspectives to consider. He's patient and an excellent listener. With his help, I'm gradually overcoming my beliefs that have held me back.
Eric is very knowledgeable and understanding about the issues I am facing and has been quite the lifeline for me while coping with some very difficult issues and learning how to respond to them in healthy ways. I wanted to reach for a drink to cope today but instead, I wrote in my journal and shared it with him. He reads those long journal entries and gets a really solid grasp on what I am dealing with so we can address the issues during sessions. I am so grateful for his kindness and understanding.
He’s fabulous and he’s knowledgeable in ways I have never seen in any other therapist.
