Background and approach
Sessions center on learning tools that can be used between meetings. In session he aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s bothering them. Conversations balance listening with teaching skills.
Clients can expect to try simple strategies for coping, tracking patterns, and testing new ways of responding to hard feelings. Erik draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to clarify what matters most, build stronger habits, and reduce overwhelming reactions.
Progress is treated as a step-by-step process. He practices in Maine and works in English. People who want to get started complete an online questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to identify patterns and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like tracking thoughts, practicing new responses, and reviewing progress together.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions usually test a few techniques and then adjust based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well when you want face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice new skills between meetings.
