About Eric

Eric Mason is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nevada with 13 years of clinical experience. He has worked across substance use and mental health settings and helps people address anger, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Sessions aim to be direct and practical for adults dealing with stress, relationship conflict, or problems at work.

He trained in psychology (undergraduate) and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in 2015. His earlier work focused on substance abuse treatment and continued into broader mental health practice. That background informs how he talks about addiction, impulsivity, and recovery-related stress.

Eric uses several well-known approaches in session. He draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of him. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools guide practical steps people can try between meetings.

In the room he tends to be interactive and straightforward. He helps people name the patterns that cause snapping at loved ones, build small behavior changes, and practice techniques to calm down in the moment. He also addresses underlying issues like trauma, grief, and relationship problems when they contribute to anger.

People looking to address anger, substance concerns, or mood problems will find a clinician who combines behavioral work with conversational coaching. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Eric often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. Client-centered work focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities, giving them space to describe what’s hardest. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active and teaches concrete skills to shift them. Motivational interviewing helps with ambivalence and building the motivation needed to change behaviors tied to substance use or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adapt methods based on what helps most. That process means tweaking exercises and homework so they fit the person’s routine and goals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people stick with the work needed to manage anger and related concerns.
