About Eric
Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship troubles, anger, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
He brings 22 years of experience to sessions and aims to keep conversations clear and focused so concerns are addressed directly. He favors methods that help people notice what matters and act on it.
That can mean learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, practicing new ways of communicating, or clarifying values and goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Eric draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult inner experiences while moving toward meaningful life choices. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes.
The Gottman Method informs his work around relationship issues and improving communication. Clients may bring concerns tied to attachment, commitment, control, impulsivity, infidelity, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, or struggles with guilt and shame.
He also addresses personality-related patterns such as avoidant or antisocial tendencies when they affect daily life. Eric earned a master’s degree in Applied Psychology and completed post-master’s education in Marriage and Family Therapy.
He holds a Nevada LMFT license and provides services in English. His style is straightforward, empathetic, and focused on helping people build practical skills they can use outside sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life-direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and addictive patterns. The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for improving communication and resolving relationship conflict, with clear skills to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, and then recommend one or a mix of methods. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill work and check-ins. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy life.
