About Eben
Eben Rogers is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on men’s wellbeing alongside relationship, family, parenting, and grief concerns. He brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and works with individuals and couples on self-esteem, communication, and life transitions.
He spent much of his career in Santa Cruz County, offering private psychotherapy and school-based support. At Mountain Elementary School he provided individual therapy for students and led family-focused groups. He also worked with a local nonprofit that offers residential care to adults with developmental disabilities, including autism and Down syndrome.
Earlier work included social work in a residential treatment program for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. There he ran group and individual therapy, coordinated with schools and medical providers, and helped clients access social services. Those roles shaped his habit of collaborating with other systems when that is useful to a client’s progress.
His clinical toolkit has included cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods aimed at helping people manage impulses, reduce distress, and set practical goals. He often draws on those approaches when addressing divorce, blended family challenges, abandonment issues, or caregiver stress.
Outside of therapy, he enjoys hiking, surfing, and family time in Santa Cruz. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz and holds the LMFT credential in California.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused methods are often used to clarify problems and build specific skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches break issues into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, attainable steps and what already works for a person, which can speed progress on concrete goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match the client’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It can also let clients keep consistent appointments during life transitions, coordinate with other professionals, and maintain momentum between in-person sessions if needed.
