About Eric
Eric Mason is a licensed social worker who brings 13 years of clinical experience to his practice. He holds LISW and LIMHP credentials and provides straightforward, respectful care for people coping with addiction, mood concerns, trauma, and related stresses. He speaks English and practices in Nevada.
Before becoming a clinician he studied psychology and addiction at Nevada State College and completed a master of social work at the University of New England in 2015. His background includes substantial work in substance use therapy and general mental health settings.
In sessions he keeps the tone inviting and interactive. He uses direct conversation, practical tools, and collaborative goal-setting to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship issues. He also addresses parenting concerns, career stress, and problems linked to adoption and foster care when those topics come up.
His approach draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness practices. That means conversations focus on current concerns, short-term goals, and skills people can try between sessions. He aims to be calm, respectful, and goal-oriented while listening closely to each person’s needs.
Eric commonly helps people work through trauma, substance-related problems, sexual assault and abuse, HIV / AIDS-related stressors, and identity questions linked to LGBT concerns. He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. If you want to explore whether his style fits you, the initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship, so sessions center on what the person brings and on agreed goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools people can use between meetings to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and supports steps toward recovery from addiction or other behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are normal as work proceeds, and the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or parenting, shorter check-ins when needed, and using home resources to practice skills. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions in ways that fit someone’s routine and goals.
