Eric Levine

Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor based in Washington. He brings 14 years of counseling experience and a calm, conversational style to sessions. He listens without judgment and helps clients clarify how they see their situations. Eric aims to be in a client's corner while they decide what steps to take next.

Eric uses attentive listening, empathy, and collaborative problem solving. He looks for and validates strengths, and he may use humor to ease difficult conversations. Sessions can move at a client's pace - from longer talk-throughs to focused planning for quick decisions.

He often helps people facing workplace and career questions, including staying in a difficult job, planning an exit, or exploring new career or educational paths. Those conversations frequently bring up feelings that touch relationships, self-esteem, and life purpose.

Eric also supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, communication problems, and coping with major life changes such as divorce and separation. Many clients begin by simply talking things out and then take small practical steps that improve their outlook.

He earned a master's degree with a specialization in Counseling Psychology from UCLA and holds the LMHC credential. Eric prefers in-person work but has found phone sessions to be an effective alternative, offering focused conversation with spoken nuance and immediate clarification.

To start, he asks that people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Eric's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on seeing the situation through your eyes and responding with empathy and nonjudgmental listening. This approach helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and discover their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented and looks for small, concrete steps that make a difference quickly.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Eric works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will listen to what matters most and adjust pace and techniques so sessions feel useful and manageable.

The biography describes a preference for in-person work and notes phone sessions as an effective alternative. If you are considering remote work, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online or phone options helpful for fitting therapy into a busy day, for shorter check-ins, or when a focused conversation without travel is preferred. Those options can make it easier to keep momentum and follow through on plans formed in session.
