About Eric
Eric Levine is a licensed counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He greets people with steady listening and gentle questions. He aims to understand how each person sees their life and to be supportive no matter what they decide.
He listens without judgment and looks for strengths to build on. He offers collaborative problem solving and a little humor when it fits. Sessions are paced to the person - some want time to talk things out, others prefer to move toward quick decisions and plans.
Eric has 14 years of counseling experience after earning a master’s with a specialization in Counseling Psychology from UCLA. He has spent much of his career in education and counseling programs, working with students, staff, and administrators across a range of life stages.
Career and workplace concerns are a key focus. He helps people decide whether to stay in a job, prepare to leave, or explore new career and educational paths, and he attends to the emotions those choices bring.
Relationships and parenting issues are also part of his work when they connect to other life stresses. Many people begin by talking through what feels overwhelming, then take small steps that brighten their outlook and lead to change.
Eric prefers in-person work but notes that phone conversations have become a strong alternative. He can extend sessions up to 55 to 60 minutes when needed, and says he values deep, open connection as part of the counseling process.
How Eric’s Approaches Translate to Online Conversations
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience without judgment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people find choices that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear goals and small steps that move a person toward the outcomes they want.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work together. The therapist uses your goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable to determine how to blend these methods. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as you go.
Eric notes a preference for in-person sessions but describes phone conversations as a strong alternative because they keep focus, allow for tone and inflection, and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online or phone work can help make therapy practical for parents juggling schedules, people balancing work, and others who need flexible session times.
