About Eric

Eric Katz is a licensed clinical social worker who brings more than 26 years of experience to his practice. He is credentialed as an LCSW in New York and a LICSW in Vermont. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, trauma, or depression.

He uses straightforward conversation to help people talk about difficult feelings. He aims to create an accepting space where thoughts and emotions can be shared without judgment. He encourages small practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

His background includes long experience working with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. He also supports people coping with codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Those concerns are often linked with how someone manages anger or stress.

In session he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods guide clear skills practice, values-based choices, and ways to manage intense emotion. He adapts tools to each person's goals and pace.

Eric recognizes that starting therapy takes courage. He asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing behaviors that match personal values, which can help with anger, avoidance, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also let people practice skills in their normal routines and bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
