About Eric
Eric Katz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. He holds LCSW licensure in New York and LICSW in Vermont. He helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.
He uses straightforward methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying small, practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he uses to break down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts.
Eric also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify personal values and build committed action, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These methods give concrete tools people can practice between sessions.
In a typical meeting he listens to the immediate struggle and suggests specific exercises to try during the week. He checks in about what worked and adjusts the plan based on real-world results. Progress is treated as a sequence of small experiments rather than instant fixes.
Eric works in New York and conducts sessions in English. He asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT, and DBT guide online sessions
Eric uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new responses between meetings.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences while still moving toward chosen goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. This helps match methods to real life rather than rely on a single technique.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a regular routine, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins between in-person visits. Licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to support steady practice and follow-up work without changing the overall therapeutic plan.
