About Eric
Eric Aldaco is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in California. He brings 16 years of experience to sessions and centers work on clients' strengths. Eric speaks English and Spanish and frames his work from a Christian perspective when that fits a person's values.
Eric sees people dealing with low self-esteem, anger, relationship strain, and the stress of life changes. He also focuses on parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, immigration matters, finding life purpose, men's issues, and multicultural concerns.
Background and approach
He aims to help people identify what matters most and take practical steps toward change. In sessions, Eric follows a client-centered approach. He listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people set goals that feel realistic.
He works collaboratively, using the client's own strengths to guide problem solving rather than imposing a fixed plan. Eric uses plain talk and straightforward steps to make progress feel manageable. Conversations might include examining difficult feelings like anger, practicing new ways to respond in strained moments, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.
The pace is set by the client and their goals. Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Client-centered care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and questions that help people clarify values and goals. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship stress, anger, and deciding what matters most in life.Eric also brings a faith-informed perspective when clients prefer that framework. That means spiritual beliefs can be part of conversations about forgiveness, fatherhood, or life purpose if the client wants to include them. The therapist and client work together to choose approaches that match the person's needs and preferences.
Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Eric will help assess goals and try methods that fit a client's comfort and schedule, adjusting as progress is made. He treats the choice of approach as something to discover together rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep work focused on practical change.
