About Eric

Eric Foraker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Nevada (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem issues. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Eric trained with a master's degree in Applied Psychology and completed post-master's study in Marriage and Family Therapy. He uses a collaborative approach in the room and emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions. Conversations focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, improving communication, and clarifying personal goals.

His background includes work with relationship problems and life transitions, including divorce and separation, infidelity, and commitment issues. He also addresses personality-related concerns such as avoidant and antisocial patterns, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and impulsivity. Eric lists forgiveness, guilt and shame, and family of origin concerns among his focus areas.

Therapeutic methods Eric uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method. These approaches shape practical exercises, values work, and communication skills practiced in sessions. He aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and to try concrete shifts in thinking and behavior.

People who want straightforward, skills-focused work around anger and relationship strain often seek him out. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How Eric blends proven approaches for remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps people reduce avoidance and respond differently to difficult feelings such as anger and shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses targeted exercises to change patterns that reinforce anger or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's perspective and priorities, giving room to talk through relationship strain and decisions.

Choosing the right approach is something he treats as collaborative. He will discuss these methods with clients and shape a plan based on the client's goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. The aim is to find practical tools that fit the person's life rather than using a single fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping a short check-in during a lunch break, or working through communication skills when distance makes in-person meetings hard. If you want to explore values work, thought records, or relationship exercises, those can be adapted for remote sessions in collaboration with the therapist.
