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 experience. He has a background in substance use support and mental health care and lists concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting, and relationship struggles among his focus areas.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in addiction studies from Nevada State College and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of New England. His clinical background includes work with people facing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and substance use challenges, as well as those navigating grief, intimacy issues, and stressful life changes.
In sessions he favors practical, person-focused work. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and build a collaborative plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to try new, manageable skills.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in his toolbox to help people clarify goals and take steps that fit their life. Mindfulness-based practices are also part of his approach when helpful for stress and emotion regulation.
People who are looking for straightforward, goal-oriented sessions about parenting strain, relationship conflict, addiction, or mood challenges will find his style direct and pragmatic. He works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Eric’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps them name priorities, and builds goals together. This approach fits people who want a supportive, collaborative process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact. Sessions often include simple exercises and goal-setting to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or relationship problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps people whose choices feel stuck. It uses focused questions and practical steps to boost readiness for change, often alongside other techniques.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust over time. That collaboration helps shape which techniques are emphasized.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different tools to support homework, skill practice, and steady progress without requiring an in-person visit.
