About Eric
Eric Clayburn is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, ADHD, anger, bipolar symptoms, and the strain that comes with life changes. He takes a practical, down-to-earth approach so conversations feel straightforward and useful.
Eric focuses on clear steps people can use between sessions. He uses tools that teach coping skills, manage intense emotions, and address patterns that cause repeated problems.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to include short-term goals, skill practice, and simple ways to test new behaviors in daily life. His background includes eight years of clinical practice as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW. That experience has involved supporting people through grief, addiction work, communication breakdowns, and parenting concerns.
He pays attention to each person’s history and current stressors when deciding on a plan. Eric emphasizes collaboration. He asks about what matters most, then agrees on small steps to try.
Progress is tracked by what changes feel meaningful to the person in real life. Sessions can include talking, learning coping exercises, and setting short experiments to try between meetings. The aim is to leave each session with something concrete to use during the week.
How specific approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT typically includes short exercises, mood tracking, and testing new ways of thinking between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions this often means practicing grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and communication skills that can be used in real time when stress rises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the situation, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the person’s needs and preferences guide choices.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum between sessions.
