About Eric

Eric Foraker is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada. He draws on 22 years of experience to help people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. Eric takes a calm, straightforward approach in sessions and works with each person to set practical goals.

He commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, existential ideas, and the Gottman Method where helpful. Those tools are used to address patterns of thinking, communication problems, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life and relationships. Eric aims to make therapy a collaborative effort rather than a lecture.

Clients can expect him to listen, reflect, and offer exercises and strategies to try between sessions. He often focuses on small, concrete changes that build over time. He also helps people examine family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Eric has worked with people on attachment and commitment issues, impulsivity, control problems, dissociation, infidelity, and the challenges that follow divorce or separation. He combines relational techniques with practical behavior changes so people can notice progress between appointments.

He communicates plainly and aims to give clients useful tools. People who value a collaborative style and a focus on real-world change may find his approach helpful. For international clients or nonstandard arrangements, confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Eric uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as clear, active ways to address problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws on client-centered work, which emphasizes listening and building a working relationship. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions, and the same conversational, goal-focused process applies whether meeting in person or online. Confirm the available session arrangements to plan what will work best for your schedule and needs.
