Eric Foraker , LMFT

Eric Foraker is a Nevada-licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of professional experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and issues of self-esteem. He earned a master’s degree in Applied Psychology and completed post-master’s education in Marriage and Family Therapy, and he practices as an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with relational and individual concerns.

Known for an understanding approach and clear communication, Eric emphasizes collaboration with each person he sees. He partners with clients to build practical tools and strategies that support healthier thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while also working to strengthen more satisfying relationships and life experiences. His work includes attention to attachment patterns, communication and control problems, family-of-origin issues, infidelity and commitment concerns, and challenges such as dissociation, impulsivity, guilt, and shame.

Eric frames therapy as a joint process in which the therapist supports clients as they discover their goals and develop the skills needed to reach their potential. He aims to help people clarify life purpose, repair relationships, and move toward the life they desire through steady, goal-focused work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eric integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and relationship-focused work into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and improving life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity and to build practical coping skills. The Gottman Method offers structured, research-informed techniques for couples to improve communication, repair conflict, and rebuild trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor methods that fit the client’s situation. Together they determine which strategies and interventions will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Eric is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows continuity of care across locations. These options help people access consistent therapeutic support while balancing work, family, and travel commitments.
