About Eran
Eran Montiel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has practiced in California for nine years. He helps people tackle problems that get in the way of daily life, such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction.
Background and approach
His approach is practical and collaborative, and he aims to create a space where clients can speak openly without judgment. Eran has spent years helping individuals navigate family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and struggles with motivation.
He also supports people facing career changes and the everyday pressure of life transitions. His background includes work with substance use and intimacy-related issues and he draws on several clinical approaches to meet each person where they are.
In sessions he focuses on building trust and clarifying goals. He listens for what matters most and then tailors sessions to the person's pace and preferences.
That can mean using structured techniques for trauma or addiction, or more conversational work to sort through relationship patterns. Eran values collaboration.
He invites clients to shape treatment so it feels relevant and useful. He aims to be straightforward and respectful while helping people identify small, manageable steps forward.
People who prefer clear goals and a mix of skills-based work and insight-oriented conversations may find his style a good fit. He offers sessions that match different rhythms - from short check-ins to deeper weekly work - depending on what clients need.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape how people connect now. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in close relationships and helps people identify, name, and respond to those emotions differently. That work can be done in video sessions where partners or individuals practice new interaction styles with the therapist’s guidance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; adapted EMDR techniques can be delivered in video or phone sessions using paced bilateral stimulation and guided processing.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. From there he will recommend methods and check in regularly to adjust the plan based on the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face interaction from wherever a person is, phone sessions can fit a short break from work, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose formats that match comfort, time, and communication style.
