About Eric

Eric Martinez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with five years of clinical experience practicing in Texas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and matters related to LGBT identity and sexuality. He also focuses on issues common in young adulthood, such as figuring out life purpose and managing the pressures of early adult life.

Eric listens for how someone makes meaning of their situation. He uses existential-phenomenological ideas to understand identity, purpose, and the uncertainty people face. That perspective helps him notice patterns that matter to daily life rather than only symptoms.

He combines that foundation with evidence-based therapeutic techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Sessions are practical and problem-focused when needed, with attention to how beliefs and values shape choices.

People who come because of social anxiety, impulsivity, guilt, or shame will find work that aims to reduce limiting habits and improve coping. He also takes on concerns tied to first responder and veteran experiences, and supports men working through cultural expectations about emotion.

Eric accepts international clients and offers sessions from Texas. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Existential-phenomenological work focuses on how people create meaning and face life decisions. In practice this looks like talking about values, choices, and identity concerns to clarify what matters most and where change feels possible. It can help with questions about purpose, identity, and the uncertainty common in early adulthood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions include identifying troubling thoughts, testing them, and practicing different actions. That approach is often useful for anxiety, social phobia, impulsivity, and problems with self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm exact session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit around school, shifts, or busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth or focus is an issue. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and progress checks to the online setting to keep the work practical and focused.
