01About Erik
Erik Buskard brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses clear, evidence-backed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Erik holds an ME LCPC and draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide sessions calmly and directly.
Erik creates a straightforward space for honest conversation. He helps clients sort through relationship tensions, family conflict, parenting strains, and problems with anger or self-esteem. Sessions aim to build coping skills for life changes and to address concerns such as ADHD and trauma when they come up.
Background and approach
His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens first, then offers strategies that make sense for daily life. Clients work together on concrete steps and small changes that add up over time.
Erik often combines talk-based work with practical exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. He also draws on attachment-based ideas and motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation and improve how people relate to others. People who choose Erik usually want direct help with specific problems and tools they can use between sessions.
He supports each person’s pace and goals and adjusts methods as needs shift. Sessions are geared toward real-world changes, not abstract theory.

04Online support
How practical approaches work online
Erik commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include clear goals, homework, and step-by-step skills that can be practiced between meetings.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood. This approach helps people clarify their goals and decide what changes they want to make. Attachment-based ideas are used to recognize patterns in relationships and improve how people connect with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy makes these approaches flexible and accessible. Video calls allow in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
