Eric Howell, LMFT

Attachment and practical approaches delivered online

Eric uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional patterns. That approach can help when someone struggles with abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, or intimacy-related concerns. It focuses on noticing patterns and trying new ways of relating.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Eric will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That collaborative planning is intended to match tools to the problem rather than follow a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video is helpful for a more traditional session feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing processing between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
