About Eric
Eric Howell is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 15 years of practice. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, mood disorders, and issues connected to sexual orientation. He welcomes questions about career stress, addiction, and the strain of caring for someone with persistent mental illness.
He uses Jungian ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. Sessions aim to help people name patterns, understand feelings, and build clearer choices in daily life.
Background and approach
Eric draws on both practical tools and deeper reflection to help with communication, impulse control, and self-worth. Eric moved to California in his mid-20s and has worked in nonprofit, government, and independent practice settings. He is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - and brings both clinical experience and personal insight from his own therapeutic journey.
That lived perspective informs how he listens and coaches people toward change. In sessions he mixes talk, skill-building, and exploration of personal meaning. That can include looking at family of origin dynamics, attachment patterns, or how old wounds affect current choices.
He adapts methods to each person's needs while aiming to keep sessions clear and practical. People often seek him for help with anger, isolation, midlife questions, and problems tied to money or career. Eric also supports those wrestling with shame, forgiveness, and intimacy struggles.
He uses straightforward language and focuses on small, doable steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, personal meaning, and life stories to help people understand recurring patterns and inner conflicts. It can be useful for those who want deeper reflection on identity, creativity, or recurring emotional themes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present bonds and reactions. This work helps people notice how they relate to others and practice new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and isolation. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on each person's experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and support while clients decide on their goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily demands. The therapist adapts as work progresses, using practical tools or deeper exploration as needed.
