Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
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.
Although many providers may only allow 30-45 minute sessions, if needed, I can speak with you for between 55 to 60 minutes.
My name is Eric Levine. I’m a licensed Counselor based in Washington State having worked 12 years in the field of counseling after earning my Masters specializing in Counseling Psychology at UCLA.
Workplace and career issues are two areas of emphasis, helping people who want to stay in their present job with its difficulties, make a decision to leave and how to prepare for it, or even explore a different career and/or educational path–with all the emotions those things can evoke.
Of course 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. Many of those with problems that seemed overwhelming began by talking about them and when ready took small steps that in themselves brightened their outlook on the future and eventually led to improved outcomes.
Like many counselors my preference is to work with people in person. But since remote counseling has come to the fore (even more so after the pandemic hit) I find the next best mode is talking on the phone which brings with it a sense of “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 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.

Eric Levine approaches therapy with a simple mission: to see the world through each client’s eyes, ask questions that clarify their perspective, and remain a steady ally in whatever choices they make. He consistently listens without judgment, offers sincere empathy, highlights and validates strengths, practices collaborative problem solving, and brings a touch of humor when appropriate to help constructive solutions emerge.
He offers longer sessions when needed – typically between 55 and 60 minutes – rather than the shorter 30 to 45 minute appointments many providers offer. This allows more time for reflection, exploration, and problem solving during a single meeting.
Eric is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State and has built 14 years of experience in counseling after earning a master's degree with a specialization in Counseling Psychology from UCLA. He places particular emphasis on workplace and career concerns, helping clients who want to stay in a challenging job, those preparing to leave and needing a plan, or those exploring different career or educational paths and the emotions that accompany those decisions.
He also works with relationship issues, recognizing how employment and life transitions can affect interpersonal connections. Many people who initially felt overwhelmed began simply by talking about their difficulties, then taking small steps that brightened their outlook and led to better outcomes over time.
Eric prefers in-person work when possible, but since remote counseling has become more common he finds phone sessions to be the next best option. Phone conversations preserve a sense of presence – including inflection, emphasis, emotional nuance, and the ability to quickly resolve misunderstandings through spoken exchange. He notes that his calm, pleasant speaking voice is something he attributes to his father, a newscaster whose warm delivery left a strong impression.
After a long career in education and counseling programs, Eric seeks through this venue to reengage in a role similar to one he held in a university setting, where he worked individually with students, staff, and administrators of varied ages. He values the openness and remarkable life stories that come from that type of work.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can deliver meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most individuals.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to incorporate counseling into a busy life.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is desired it is possible to switch providers. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of virtual options make therapy more attainable while preserving the therapeutic elements that support positive progress.
