About Eric
LCSW, LICSW Eric Katz has 26 years of clinical experience and practices in New York. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and he holds social work licenses in New York (LCSW) and Vermont (LICSW).
Eric draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work. He focuses on practical skills and clear conversations. That can include noticing unhelpful thinking, learning new coping steps, and practicing ways to manage strong feelings.
He also addresses codependency, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and post-traumatic stress. In sessions he helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out different, manageable alternatives. The room is oriented toward straightforward problem solving and skills practice as needed.
Eric’s experience spans community and clinical settings over more than two decades. He aims to make the first visits simple: figure out pressing concerns, set short-term goals, and plan the next steps. People leave sessions with concrete ideas to use between meetings.
For people who’ve been avoiding care because of fear or uncertainty, he emphasizes pacing and clarity. Early sessions often focus on safety, immediate coping tools, and small experiments that build confidence before moving into deeper work.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT shape remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning can include trying different tools and adjusting the focus over time based on what helps.
