Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals such as reducing anxious symptoms, improving daily routines, handling grief, and building confidence.
Erick helps people practice skills between meetings and checks what is working. He aims to keep therapy grounded in everyday life so changes can be sustained. Erick emphasizes collaboration.
He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and offers practical options rather than dictating a path. Everyone moves at their own pace and the plan can change as needs shift. Erick works in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How Erick's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by putting the person’s goals and experiences at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape a plan from what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change reactions to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erick collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist check in on goals and change direction when something is not helping.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or get support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum across weeks.
