Background and approach

Erik also works with concerns tied to addiction and the fallout it can bring to daily life. He pays attention to life stage issues, including aging and geriatric concerns, and to problems that come from difficult family histories. Communication breakdowns, workplace stress, guilt, shame, and struggles specific to men are all common topics in his work.

He also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress and reactions after disasters. Erik aims to shape a treatment plan that fits each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He explains options plainly and helps people choose manageable steps.

Evidence-based methods and online therapy options

Erik uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and breaking problems into manageable steps. Another approach addresses addictions and behavioral patterns by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and practicing coping strategies that reduce urges and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He collaborates with clients to figure out what fits their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time. That collaborative process helps people try different techniques and keep what works best for them.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls let people use visual cues for richer conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer brief, flexible contact for between-session support or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity over time.
