Erik Buskard, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with nine years of clinical experience, Erik Buskard focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. He uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing as his main approaches. Erik aims to create a space where people can speak openly about what they are facing and take concrete steps toward change.

Erik keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He helps people name the problems that feel most urgent and then picks methods that match those needs. That can mean using CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, applying attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns, or using mindfulness practices to manage stress in the moment.

He values collaboration in session. Clients set goals, and he offers tools and small experiments to test between sessions. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a change.

Erik has worked across settings during his nine years of practice and brings that variety to individual sessions. He listens for patterns in relationships and daily routines that keep problems going, then helps people try different responses and notice what changes.

Sessions generally focus on practical skills, clear feedback, and plans that fit everyday life. People who want to address emotional reactions, relationship patterns, or recurring stressors will find that the work emphasizes simple, repeatable strategies and steady progress over time.
