About Eric
Eric Katz is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. He uses clear talk and steady guidance to help people make changes that fit their life. Eric holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) credential.
He draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions.
Background and approach
That means sessions often include learning simple skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. The work is goal-focused but paced to each person. Eric’s 26 years of work include supporting people after trauma and abuse and helping with relationship stress.
He also helps with codependency, guilt and shame, loneliness, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and post-traumatic stress. Those areas guide how he chooses tools for each person. In the room he aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about plainly.
He encourages people to name what matters to them and to take steps in that direction. Sessions balance practical exercises with time to reflect. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Eric treats that step as part of the process.
He works with each person to set clear goals and to adjust the plan as life changes. The focus is on steady progress that fits a person’s everyday world.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and long-standing avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through clear exercises and practice between sessions. It can help with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, staying present, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life demands, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits better. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it possible to fit regular work on problems into busy schedules.
