How Erik’s approaches work online

Erik commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to distress and practice new coping behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on small experiments and homework tasks that can be tried between meetings. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current reactions; this helps when relationship stress or parenting strain is a main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erik collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. He checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans over time so the approach fits rather than being fixed from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular work more manageable. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or emotional work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other obligations while keeping progress focused and practical.
