About Eric
Eric Katz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Vermont with 26 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also works with issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, obsessions and compulsions, and post-traumatic stress.
Eric uses practical talk and straightforward strategies in sessions. He helps people name what feels most urgent and tries short, doable steps to change patterns. Sessions are meant for clear problem-solving as well as emotional processing.
He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions. That means combining values-based goals, skill work to change unhelpful thinking, and tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Eric tends to keep the work goal-focused and concrete. He will help identify what is getting in the way day to day and set measurable next steps. That can include changing routines, practicing new ways to cope with stress, and testing different responses in relationships.
People who want a steady, experienced clinician who favors practical exercises and talk tend to find this style helpful. If someone prefers a different method, he will discuss alternatives and plan how to proceed together.
BHow sessions work
How his ACT, CBT, and DBT work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values. It helps when life feels off-course or people are stuck avoiding painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating emotion, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and overwhelming stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then he will recommend methods and try them in early sessions, adjusting based on what fits and what produces helpful change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions in everyday settings. The focus is on applying ACT, CBT, and DBT tools in ways that fit the client's schedule and daily life.
