About Eric
Eric Clayburn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy challenges.

That experience includes helping people with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and communication difficulties. He also addresses substance and alcohol issues, infidelity, isolation, and the stresses of fatherhood.
Eric aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space where clients set the pace. He works with people on concrete goals and small, realistic changes that add up over time.

How specific approaches work in online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to help people shift reactions and try different behaviors.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive actions, and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then recommend using one method or combining techniques that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process meant to match strategies to real concerns.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific formats here, so checking available formats will ensure they meet your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy is simpler to maintain alongside other responsibilities.
