About Eric

Eric Mason is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nevada with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns, and other mood or stress-related issues.

He started with a bachelors degree in psychology and addiction studies from Nevada State College, then completed a Master of Social Work at the University of New England in 2015. Over more than a decade he has provided services in substance use settings and general mental health care.

In sessions he focuses on clear, practical strategies. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also draws on client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused tools to support short-term goals.

Sessions tend to be interactive and goal oriented. He helps people notice patterns, try concrete skills, and measure progress. That approach is often used for managing cravings, mood shifts, anxiety, anger, and relationship problems.

Eric has experience across a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, sexual assault and abuse, LGBTQ issues, adoption and foster care, and addictions. He has also worked with clients dealing with criminal justice involvement and impulsivity-related behaviors.

People who prefer a straightforward, skills-based approach that combines talk with practical exercises may find his style useful. Before booking, confirm the specific session formats offered and how they fit your schedule.

CBT, client-centered work, and online sessions

Eric often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT involves breaking problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.

He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and building a working relationship, and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Those approaches help with alcohol and drug concerns, ambivalence about change, and setting practical steps toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals, adjusting pace and focus as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talk, skill coaching, and brief exercises that translate to everyday routines.
