About Eric
Eric Howell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or major life changes. He greets first-time and returning therapy clients with respect for the step it takes to reach out for help.
Eric brings 15 years of clinical experience from nonprofit, government, and private-practice settings. He draws on his own positive experience in therapy to shape how he works with others. Sessions are practical and focused on helping people understand patterns, learn new coping skills, and improve communication.
He uses several approaches in his work, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix means he pays attention to early relationship patterns, centers the client’s perspective, and offers strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Eric also has experience with mood disorders, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, and family stressors. He can help people navigate the effects of having a family member with a serious mental illness and supports exploration of identity and sexual orientation when relevant to the client.
Originally from the Northeast, Eric moved to California at 25 and identifies as a gay male. He integrates a spiritual perspective when that is helpful to a person’s work. He invites people to bring their everyday problems so they can find clearer direction and more manageable ways of coping.
