About Eric
Eric Aldaco is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. He brings 16 years of clinical experience and works from a perspective that acknowledges clients' personal strengths.
Background and approach
He describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support people as they take the first steps toward change. He approaches sessions with clear, straightforward conversation.
He listens first and follows the client's lead to set goals. He uses a strength-based style that draws on what already works in a person's life while addressing what gets in the way.
Eric incorporates his faith perspective when clients express that is important to them. He blends that outlook with Client-Centered Therapy, staying focused on the client's values and priorities.
This allows room to discuss meaning, purpose, and moral questions alongside practical concerns. Common themes he helps people with include self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, parenting and family dynamics, and anger.
He also works on fatherhood issues, forgiveness, immigration-related stress, men's issues, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Eric provides a mix of session formats to fit different schedules, and he aims to help people find realistic, actionable steps they can try between meetings.
Client-centered care over video and text
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist creates space for people to talk through their concerns and guides conversations by reflecting what matters to the client. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, coping with change, and exploring life purpose.When faith or moral questions are important to a client, those topics can be part of sessions and integrated with the client-centered focus. That allows discussions about values, forgiveness, and fatherhood to unfold at the client's pace. The therapist works collaboratively to shape goals and to choose ways of working that match the client's preferences and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break in a busy day or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use a shorter, more frequent form of contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real-world schedule while keeping the focus on practical progress and problem solving.
