About Eric

Eric Mason is a licensed social worker and mental health practitioner with 13 years of clinical experience. He holds LISW and LIMHP credentials and has built a practice addressing a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns, from mood disorders and anxiety to addiction and trauma.

Background and approach

He trained in psychology and addiction studies for his undergraduate degree and completed a master of social work, which supports his clinical work with people facing complex life challenges. His style is inviting and interactive, focused on meeting people where they are with empathy and respect.

He blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques, alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused interventions, to tailor care to each person’s needs. Eric’s approach emphasizes practical skills for coping with stress, grief, relationship strain, and patterns that contribute to substance use or emotional distress.

Practicing from Nevada, he offers multiple remote session formats so people can access care in ways that fit their schedules. He aims to work collaboratively with clients to set goals and develop strategies that address immediate concerns while building long-term resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Eric draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing as core tools in remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and substance-related problems. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps clients resolve ambivalence and build internal motivation for change, often useful for addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He works together with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapts techniques from these methods to create a tailored plan. Clients can expect an interactive partnership where the therapist listens, offers feedback, and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting work, family, and other commitments into daily life.
