More about Eric

I am an outpatient therapist licensed in Michigan with 8 years of experience working as a substance abuse counselor and mental health professional. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance and behavioral addictions, parenting problems, trauma, anger management,and adjustment. Many of these sessions included family treatment and identifying barriers to communication.
My therapy style is easy-going, warm, compassionate, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and as experts in their own lives. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and person centered. I'm here to help you reach your own goals.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been talking to Eric for over a year now. I am alot stronger minded now then last year. Thank you Eric.
Been with Eric for some time now. Tjere is nothing I won't or can't feel I can tell him. He listen's, never judges and always gives me a different way to look at my problems. Thank you Eric and Bettet Help.
He is a all around great guy. Who has helped me through things by making sure that I don’t feel alone. And that was something I didn’t even know I needed.
Eric always listens, never interrupts me and always tells me what I need to hear respectfully. I appreciate him.
Very professional and understanding
Eric is a great therapist and helped me get through a difficult time in my life. My relationship w my wife was in trouble and Eric helped me to appreciate her more and to unravel some complexities around my own issues in the process. In general, Eric is a great guy and he earned my trust quickly and I felt like I could open up to him easily. Thanks, Eric, I appreciate you! ~Adam
I am very happy with Better Help and Eric. He immedietely opened my mind to see what is going on. He always responds to me. I journal a lot and he always gets back to me which is very important to me. Thank you.
Eric is great!
Awesome dude
Eric is super supportive, thinks outside the box, and helps me to think ahead to prepare for things in my life as well as has helped me to dig into some of my past traumas and drill into how they manifest in my life now.
I have improved dramatically over the last couple of months thanks to Eric's expertise. Understanding, compassionate and really efficient. All my sessions have brought me insights into what's going on in my head and how to deal with my life and getting closer to who I am. Thank you, Eric, for being good with words and very practical.
Eric truly cares. He checks in on me regularly, but more so if I don't schedule a session when I typically do. He remembers little details and follows up. He is so knowledgeable, eloquent and structured in his communication. He helped me get through a really really tough time. He got me to open my mind to things that I was not open to at all by helping me unconsciously see the benefits from a new angle. He is wonderful. I am lucky to have found him and plan to keep working with him for as long as I can.
Eric is an awesome guy to have in your corner. He taught me a lot of things and helped me in many ways and i would recommend him to anybody. Great guy
I believe I have found someone who understands my needs and helps me navigate through my journey on my own terms. This was very important to me coming into therapy, especially given it’s an online platform. I’m glad I am able to invest my time into my mental health with Eric.
At three sessions in, I can definitely say that Eric has been a very good therapist for me. He is kind, insightful and has already helped me to organize my thoughts, manage anxiety and communicate more effectively with my wife, as we are having some issues. Eric also leverages the tools of this BetterHelp platform well. His camera is always on for our weekly sessions, he is always punctual and ready for our sessions. Eric has given me goals to complete via the platform, encourages my journaling, and gives me feedback and encouragement. I like that we have those virtual touchpoints via chat between our sessions and it progresses our therapy a bit faster and effectively than only meeting for the sessions, as traditional therapy would be. I would recommend Eric highly and appreciate his awesome and professional demeanor and service. Thanks, ~Adam
