Treatment Approach

  • Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
  • Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.

Therapy Sessions Erik Stenglein Practice Description
I provide online psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, offering thoughtful, evidence-based care for a range of mental health concerns. My practice focuses on helping clients manage anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, ADHD, mood disorders, and emotional dysregulation, while building practical skills to improve daily functioning and quality of life. I have significant experience working with individuals living with serious mental illness, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and psychotic-spectrum conditions, as well as PTSD and panic disorders. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, with treatment tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experience. In therapy, I emphasize symptom stabilization, nervous system regulation, and skill development alongside insight and emotional processing. Clients often seek care when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from coping alone, and my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where meaningful and sustainable change can occur. All services are provided via secure telehealth, allowing for accessible and flexible care.
