About Eric
LCSW licensed in California with 24 years of clinical experience. Eric Branson helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. He offers individual therapy and has a background in social work and administrative stress management.
Eric draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and psychodynamic thinking. He keeps sessions focused on practical steps and on the stories people bring. Conversations often move between patterns in current relationships and life history that helps explain those patterns.
His social work career included executive roles in a California county. That experience informs work with people coping with workplace stress and secondary trauma. Eric also provides coaching-style support for career concerns and administrative strain.
He names faith as part of his background but says he works respectfully with other religious and philosophical views. He aims to avoid judgment and to listen for what matters to each person. He reports having used therapy himself and frames that as part of his understanding of the process.
Clients can expect a pragmatic, talking-based approach that combines short-term skills with longer-term reflection. Eric pays attention to attachment patterns, thinking habits, and how people make meaning of hard events. He also addresses issues such as gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, parenting stress, grief, and intimacy-related problems.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness work in remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. In brief online conversations this can mean noticing recurring ways someone seeks connection or shuts down and then trying different responses in day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. Online sessions often include short exercises and homework to change thinking and behavior between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and breathing or awareness practices to reduce reactivity. These skills can be practiced during a session and then repeated at home to help with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as problems evolve and progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care from different locations, with the therapist helping arrange what scheduling and session length will work best.
