01 · Who Eric works with
Eric lists 6 specialisms and 2 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Eric chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Eric's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
My approach is more about one human being talking with another, with sensitivity to your feelings uppermost in my mind. If you are navigating workplace or career situations and related relationship communication, I offer a place to map out your next steps. Together, we can go over your options focusing on what you want to do in the present.
My mission is to see the world through your eyes, to pose questions to help clarify how you see that world, and to always be in your corner whatever you decide. What I will do consistently is listen intently without judgment, show sincere empathy, look for and validate strengths, do collaborative problem solving, and even share some humor along the way. I find that these practices help good solutions rise to the top.
My name is Eric Levine. I’m a licensed Counselor based in Washington State having worked 14 years in the field of counseling after earning my Masters specializing in Counseling Psychology at UCLA.
Staying in your present job with its difficulties, making a decision to leave and how to prepare for it, or even exploring a different career and/or educational path are areas of emphasis--with all the emotions those things can evoke. Yet relationships, which are so important in general, can be affected by these issues and so many others, so of course we can work on them as well. Effective tools and incremental steps can improve your outlook on the future and lead to better outcomes.
Like many counselors my preference is to work with people in person. But since remote counseling has come to the fore I find the next best mode is talking on the phone which brings with it a sense of focus and "presence," along with inflection, emphasis, feeling tones, humor, and most importantly the ability to immediately clear up any misunderstandings with the sensitivity of the spoken word. In that regard I’ve been told I have a very calm and pleasant voice that I owe to my father, a newscaster whose warm emotionality came right through the radio, even more so to those of us around him.
After a fairly long career in more organizational education and counseling programs, I seek to return through this venue to a similar position I held in a university setting where I was able to work individually with students, staff, and administrators, young and old. The shared openness involved was something I could never take for granted, the life stories amazing in themselves.

03 · How Eric works
These are the clinical methods Eric lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Eric's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Eric runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Eric practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Eric's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Eric at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Eric is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Eric.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance
Eric's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Eric. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
