    About Eric

    Eric Mason is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nevada. He brings 13 years of clinical experience that includes substance use and broader mental health work. Eric aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and can start making small changes that matter.

    He trained in psychology at Nevada State College and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England. That clinical background informs how he blends practical skills with plain conversation. Sessions focus on achievable goals rather than complex jargon.

    Eric’s style is warm and interactive. He uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. He also draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to build steps that fit daily life.

    Common concerns he addresses include addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and work-related stress. He has experience supporting people coping with impulse control, substance use, and recovery-related challenges.

    In sessions people can expect straightforward talk, skill building, and attention to real-world obstacles. Eric works to help clients set clear, manageable goals and track progress. He adapts pacing and techniques to each person’s needs and circumstances.

  2. How Eric’s approaches translate to online work

    Eric commonly uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. This approach is conversational and focuses on building a person’s own motivation rather than imposing solutions. He also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions to create practical coping steps.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative process makes room for adjustments as progress unfolds.

    The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available session types before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use tools like worksheets and behavioral assignments between meetings, which pairs well with CBT and solution-focused work.
