Eric Foraker

Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Nevada with 22 years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear communication and a collaborative relationship. He helps people who are coping with relationship strain, stress, anxiety, substance concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

He uses practical methods to help clients change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions are centered on what matters to the client and on everyday steps that can improve how life feels. Eric draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, examine unhelpful thinking, and strengthen relationship skills.

He has a master’s degree in Applied Psychology and completed post-master’s education in Marriage and Family Therapy. Over two decades he has worked with individuals and couples to improve their relationships and personal well-being. His background includes work on issues such as attachment, commitment and communication problems, unforgiveness and guilt, and separation concerns including divorce and separation.

In therapy he emphasizes collaboration and practical tools. He helps clients identify values, set achievable goals, and practice new ways of relating. The aim is to build skills that carry into daily life and support longer-term change.

People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on steps they can use between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what they help with

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, anger, and addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s goals guide the work; this approach supports emotional expression and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best. That choice takes into account the client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, and can evolve over time as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, managing follow-ups between appointments, and making it easier to keep consistent check-ins. If you prefer in-person or a particular online format, confirm those options when you schedule so sessions match your needs and routine.
