About Eric
Eric Katz is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in New York. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression.
Clients meet a clinician who focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions center on noticing patterns, naming difficult feelings, and trying small changes that feel doable. Eric uses straightforward tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and reactions.
He also addresses codependency, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and post-traumatic stress. Those topics are treated as patterns to understand and shift, not labels to stick to someone. The work often includes learning ways to set limits and reacting less from automatic habit.
Eric draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in everyday ways. That means focusing on values, testing thoughts against real life, and building skills for emotional regulation. Sessions mix discussion with simple exercises and practice to try between meetings.
He aims for plain language and practical next steps rather than jargon. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session help identify what fits best and the first small goals to work toward.
How sessions work
Using ACT, CBT, and DBT approaches online
Eric uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing behavior that matches personal values rather than getting stuck in negative thinking.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them against real situations. That approach is practical and aimed at changing how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes straightforward skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people respond in tense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. He treats the choice of techniques as flexible and adjusts plans based on what helps most.
