About Eric

Eric Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. He also supports clients grappling with questions of sexual orientation and gender, and those who want coaching around purpose and life direction. His style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up over time.

Eric uses plain language in sessions and focuses on what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

He listens for how clients make sense of their lives and helps them try new ways of thinking and behaving. Conversations are practical and centered on real-world steps clients can take between sessions. With five years of clinical experience, Eric draws on existential-phenomenological ideas to explore identity, meaning, and choice.

He pairs that perspective with evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and daily struggles. This combination helps people understand patterns and experiment with healthier responses. He often works with issues like guilt and shame, impulsivity, social anxiety, and the stresses common to military and first responder backgrounds.

Eric also offers support around gender dysphoria, sexuality, and young adult transitions in a way that aims to honor each person’s values and goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Eric frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients set goals they can measure and adjust as progress is made.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Eric blends a focus on how people find meaning with straightforward, evidence-based techniques. One part of his work comes from existential-phenomenological ideas, which look at how a person understands identity, purpose, and life choices. This helps when someone feels stuck, disconnected, or unsure about next steps. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are another common element, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and reduce anxiety or impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time. The aim is to match tools to what the person wants to change and to measure progress in concrete ways.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines.
