About Eric

Eric Aldaco is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 16 years of professional experience. He frames therapy around each person's strengths and beliefs, and he encourages people who are ready to take that first step toward change. Eric identifies as a Christian therapist and integrates a biblical perspective when clients prefer that viewpoint.

He uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals at the center of sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on making practical steps that feel doable. Sessions may include talking through relationship tensions, parenting stress, anger, or questions about life purpose.

Eric often supports people facing immigration-related stress, issues around fatherhood and men’s concerns, and questions of forgiveness. He also works with multicultural concerns and helps people strengthen self-esteem while navigating life changes. Language options include English and Spanish.

Clients can expect a collaborative, strengths-based style. Eric aims to listen first, then work together to set goals and test what helps. He welcomes discussion of faith and personal values when those are important to the person in therapy.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule according to availability. The approach is practical and conversational, with attention to each person’s pace and priorities.

Client-centered care and online options

Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates a space where clients set the pace and topics, and sessions emphasize the client's values and goals. This approach can help with relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and finding direction in life.

Eric also brings a faith-informed perspective when a client wants to include biblical themes in sessions. That means faith and personal values can be part of goal-setting and decisions about steps to try. The therapist works collaboratively to decide whether that perspective fits the client's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they choose how to proceed and adjust the plan as needed.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling across different locations simpler, while the therapist and client decide the best mode to match goals and daily routines.
