Eric Katz, LCSW, LICSW

Eric Katz is a licensed clinical social worker who uses plain, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. He is LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and brings 26 years of experience to his work. He focuses on everyday problems like relationship strain, codependency, guilt, shame, loneliness, obsessive behaviors, and post-traumatic stress. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. Sessions emphasize clear, actionable steps people can try between meetings. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and build different responses to them. Eric aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can name hard feelings and try new ways of coping. He listens for concrete patterns that keep problems going and then practices small changes together. Many sessions include problem-solving, skill building, and planning for real-life situations. He prefers straightforward conversation over jargon. He explains tools in everyday language and checks that they fit each person’s life. The work is paced to what feels manageable, with space to address setbacks without blame. People who choose him can expect down-to-earth guidance backed by long clinical experience. He encourages people to take the first step and will support them through the practical parts of getting therapy started.

Evidence-informed approaches through online sessions

Eric blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into sessions that focus on what people do day to day. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to interrupt unhelpful patterns. ACT emphasizes identifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult, which helps with anxiety, depression, and avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and try tools in real contexts.
