Eran Montiel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of experience. He helps people handle problems that get in the way of day-to-day life. He works with individuals on issues like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and self esteem.
He has worked with teens and adults on family and relationship concerns, ADHD, trauma, and substance or behavioral addictions. He also supports people facing career stress, parenting strain, and major life changes. His approach is practical and straightforward, focusing on the problems people bring to sessions.
In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed. He emphasizes collaboration and follows the treatment preferences of the person sitting across from him. That means planning goals and steps together rather than imposing a single method.
Eran uses several therapeutic approaches to match different needs. He draws on attachment-based work to look at how close relationships affect behavior. He employs trauma-focused methods and EMDR for people processing painful memories. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when people want tools to manage stress and find motivation.
People can expect direct conversation, practical coping strategies, and gradual skill building. Sessions often focus on what’s most relevant now and on small steps toward change. Eran invites people to shape the work so it fits their life and goals.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationship patterns affect current bonds and behavior, helping people improve connection and trust in important relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and helps people name feelings and change how they respond in close relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories and can reduce the intensity of painful recollections.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made along the way as the work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work when life changes make in-person appointments harder. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment work, EFT, and EMDR to remote formats, while using mindful skill-building and motivational interviewing to support daily coping and motivation.
