About Eric
Eric Howell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience based in California. He welcomes people who are worried about their mood, relationships, or sense of self and offers a calm, straightforward way to begin. Eric acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out for help and aims to make the first steps easier.
He draws on work across nonprofit, government, and independent practice settings. That variety shapes a practical approach to common problems like depression, anxiety, bipolar mood swings, grief, and low self-esteem. He also helps with issues linked to addiction, anger, stress, and career or life transitions.
Eric blends attachment-focused thinking with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. In sessions he mixes talking, reflection, and practical skills you can try between meetings. He pays attention to past relationships and patterns that keep repeating, then looks for small changes that improve daily life.
He also brings personal perspective from having benefited from therapy himself and from family experience with serious mental illness. Those experiences inform his interest in family stressors, communication problems, and the particular challenges that come with having a family member with chronic mental health issues.
Eric is a gay male clinician who can include spiritual themes if that serves a person’s goals. He conducts work in English and practices in California as an LMFT. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.
