About Eric

Eric Aldaco is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, family matters, parenting, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Eric frames therapy within a Christian perspective and uses a client-centered approach. He treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on strengths people already have. In early sessions he listens to understand what matters most and what feels stuck.

In practice he works collaboratively to set priorities and to try small, practical steps between meetings. Conversations often cover how past events affect current choices, how to communicate needs clearly, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger. He also addresses fatherhood issues, forgiveness, immigration-related concerns, life purpose, men’s issues, and multicultural topics when relevant.

Eric emphasizes straightforward, respectful conversation rather than a lot of technical language. Sessions may include reflecting what he hears, asking questions to clarify values and goals, and suggesting exercises to practice new habits. The focus is on useful change over time rather than quick fixes.

People considering therapy are invited to review how his background and approach align with their needs before booking. To begin, clients follow the practice's intake steps and schedule a first session.

Client-centered approaches and online sessions

Eric practices from a client-centered perspective, which means he focuses on listening and understanding each person’s values and goals. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions, and figuring out next steps after major life changes by emphasizing the client’s own viewpoints and choices.

He also integrates conversations informed by his Christian perspective when clients wish to include faith in their work. That can shape how values and forgiveness are discussed, and it may be especially relevant for people interested in faith-informed therapy. The therapist aims to collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format choices so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines and goals.
