About Eben
Eben Rogers is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on relationship strain, family conflict, grief and parenting stress. He also helps people addressing self-esteem concerns and related life transitions common in early adulthood.
He spent years working in schools and residential programs before private practice. That background means he is used to coordinating with other professionals when needed. Eben has worked directly with people on the autism spectrum and with developmental disabilities in residential care settings.
His earlier work was as a social worker in a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. There he led groups, ran individual therapy, and connected clients with social services, medical teams, and schools. Those roles shaped a practical, team-oriented approach to care.
Eben uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on solving current problems and changing unhelpful patterns. He has experience using cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to help people gain tools for day-to-day challenges. Sessions often include concrete skills practice and clearer communication strategies.
Outside clinical work he studied American Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He lives in Santa Cruz with his wife and two daughters and spends free time hiking, surfing, and exploring local natural areas.
How Eben uses evidence-based methods online
He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach helps when anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt get in the way of daily tasks and relationships.He also uses solution-focused strategies that zero in on small, achievable changes. These methods are useful for practical problems like communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, or deciding next steps after a loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist explores a client's goals, history, and preferences and then suggests methods to try. This is collaborative - clients and the therapist check what works and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also allow for quieter, focused conversations or camera-free check-ins depending on what the platform and therapist support. Licensed professionals typically use online work to help people keep therapy practical and consistent with everyday life.
