About
I’m Eric Alcala, an Online Psychotherapist
Hi! I’m Eric Alcala, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, psychotherapist, and therapist in Los Angeles providing online therapy for adults in California and New York.
If you’re looking for real relief – relief from anxiety that keeps spiking, panic that feels unpredictable, stress that never fully turns off, depression that makes everything heavier, a life transition that’s left you feeling unsteady and unsure of yourself, a trauma that’s kept you trapped in the past, or from that inner voice that always tells you “you’re not doing enough” …
And you’re looking for a therapist who can bring both empathy and direction – so you’re not just talking in circles, but actually making progress you can feel …
You’ve come to the right place.
I specialize in blending EMDR therapy with CBT and more traditional talk therapy – and at times, a bit of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – to help you feel clearer, stronger, and more at ease in your relationships and life.
My style is collaborative, structured, practical, and down-to-earth. I also believe change happens in small, steady steps. We’ll work at your pace, using tools that fit your real life. And I’ll try to always tie our work together from one session to the next – so we both have a roadmap to help us track progress towards your goals.
You can expect me to be honest and direct in a supportive way. If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust. If we’re moving too fast, we’ll slow down. If you want more structure, we’ll build it. If you need more space, we’ll make room.
Ultimately, you’re the one in the driver’s seat. You’re always in control.
I’m here to walk alongside you and provide some direction and structure as you make tangible progress from session to session and move from surviving into thriving – cultivating confidence, healthier relationships, and a more peaceful, meaningful life.
