About Eric

Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends evidence-informed methods with a collaborative coaching style to support change.

Background and approach

With 22 years of clinical experience and a master's degree in Applied Psychology plus post-master's training in Marriage & Family Therapy, he draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered work to help clients shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

He has guided individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Additional focus areas include attachment and commitment issues, communication problems, family of origin dynamics, infidelity, and questions about life purpose.

Eric emphasizes practical tools that change daily functioning as well as deeper exploration where needed. Eric practices as an LMFT in Nevada (NV LMFT 2584-R) and accepts international clients.

He frames therapy as a partnership, helping clients identify goals, develop skills, and build the resources necessary to pursue more satisfying relationships and life directions.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Eric often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, stress, and problematic habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of his toolkit and focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to respond differently to difficult emotions.

He pairs these methods with a client-centered stance that emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's goals. Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process - the therapist will explore a client's concerns, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques to fit what matters most to the client.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and busy routines, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skills, relationship work, and emotional processing in ways that suit the client's life.
