About Eric
Eric Patterson is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience. He has spent over a decade helping teenagers and adults navigate common struggles like stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about how past and current events shape day-to-day patterns. Eric does not promise to fix problems for clients. Instead he focuses on supporting people to build self-awareness and self-acceptance so they can make changes that fit their life.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. He helps clients name patterns that contribute to anxiety, guilt, shame, and relationship strain. He also works with parents who want different ways to approach parenting challenges and communication problems.
Eric emphasizes collaborative work. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people gain clarity and develop new coping tools. The aim is steady progress - small shifts that add up over time.
He practices in Colorado as an LMFT and provides care in English. If you want straightforward, respectful support while you figure out what comes next, Eric offers a focused, steady approach to help people move forward.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Eric uses widely studied therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One approach helps people track thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; it teaches concrete steps to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Another approach centers on processing past hurt and trauma in a paced way so emotional reactions interfere less with current relationships and parenting. These approaches aim to increase self-understanding and give tools people can use between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Practical advantages of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or family responsibilities and fewer travel logistics, which helps maintain consistency. Online options may also make shorter check-ins or phone conversations easier when those are a better fit for someone's day.
