Eric Aldaco

Eric Aldaco is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience. He frames therapy around each person’s strengths and values and encourages clients to take practical steps toward change. He describes himself as a Christian therapist and brings that perspective into sessions when it fits with a client's needs.

He emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client’s life story. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, realistic changes that can make daily life easier. He helps people name what matters to them and build on what already works.

In practice he uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals in focus. Sessions often look like reflective listening, practical problem solving, and exploring personal values. Those who struggle with anger, relationship strain, fatherhood roles, or life transitions may find this approach straightforward and goal-oriented.

Eric also addresses topics such as forgiveness, immigration-related stress, and multicultural concerns. He supports people wrestling with life purpose and men’s issues, and he works with parents on parenting challenges. He offers therapy in English and Spanish for people living in California.

He asks new clients to share what brought them to therapy so goals can be set together. The work is paced to the person’s comfort and aims to strengthen existing skills while trying new ways of handling difficult moments.

Client-centered approaches and online therapy options

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what he hears, and helps the client clarify goals. This approach works well for people who want to deepen self-understanding and make changes at their own pace.

Because Eric describes his work from a Christian perspective, spiritual values can be included in conversations when a client wants that. Integrating values and faith can help with issues like forgiveness, life purpose, and men’s roles in practical ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying options and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer audio for a simpler setup or lower bandwidth demands. Discuss format choices during the initial scheduling to match sessions to daily life and goals.
