About Eric
Eric Raisler is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 11 years of professional experience in clinical and independent practice settings. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes.
Background and approach
He aims to make beginning therapy clear and straightforward for worried parents and adults who want practical help. Eric focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk frankly about feelings and everyday struggles.
Sessions are aimed at helping people identify patterns, practice new ways of responding, and build skills that fit into real life. He emphasizes clear steps and tools rather than long lectures or clinical jargon.
Many clients come for help with communication problems, isolation, guilt, fatherhood issues, and midlife transitions. He also works with people affected by autism or Asperger syndrome, cancer, fertility concerns, domestic violence histories, and sexual dysfunction.
These areas often involve practical problem solving alongside emotional support. Eric prefers a collaborative approach.
He listens first, then suggests simple exercises and conversation techniques to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in small, achievable goals so changes feel manageable.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. He practices in Minnesota and conducts work in English.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Eric uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and real-life application. One approach centers on skill building - teaching specific tools for managing stress, anxiety, and anger so people can try them between sessions and notice small changes. Another approach emphasizes communication work - practicing ways to express needs, set boundaries, and solve everyday conflicts more effectively. These methods help with relationship and family concerns as well as personal transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to goals and daily routines, then suggests methods to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust techniques so the plan fits each person’s life and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible options. Video lets people use visual cues for communication work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get support between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day without needing to be on camera.
