About Eric
Eric Mason is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 13 years of combined clinical experience. He trained in psychology and social work and now practices in Nevada. Eric centers his work on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more in control.
He helps people tackle addictions, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, and trauma-related issues. He also supports people working through relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, grief, and career transitions. Men's wellbeing is listed among his areas of focus, and he brings that perspective into sessions when relevant.
Eric uses a down-to-earth, invitational style. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments to try between meetings, and skills people can use right away. He draws on client-centered methods to listen deeply, and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas shape how he helps people find momentum and practical solutions. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches aim to make therapy feel collaborative and useful.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in addiction studies and a master’s degree in social work. Eric’s background includes years working in substance abuse treatment and mental health settings. Prospective clients who want to start can confirm session options before booking.
How Eric’s approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and respectful listening. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work to match their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Eric collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful, and he adjusts techniques based on the client's goals and preferences. The focus is on practical steps, not on fitting someone into a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular meetings easier to fit into a busy week, offer brief check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when that helps, or support longer video conversations when more in-depth work is needed. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to match your routine and needs.
