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 by first striving to understand each person’s perspective and then asking thoughtful questions that clarify how they view their world. He consistently listens without judgment, offers sincere empathy, highlights and validates strengths, engages in collaborative problem solving, and does not shy away from light humor when it helps a session move forward.
With 14 years of experience in the counseling field, he holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from UCLA and practices as a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State. He typically prefers in-person work but recognizes the value of remote care; when clients choose phone sessions he emphasizes the conversational nuance that spoken exchanges allow – inflection, tone, and the chance to quickly resolve misunderstandings. He has noted that clients have found his voice calm and pleasant, a trait he traces to his father’s background in broadcasting.
Workplace and career concerns are a primary focus in his practice. He helps people who want to remain in their current job despite its difficulties, those who are deciding to leave and need a plan to prepare, and individuals exploring new career or educational directions – all while acknowledging the emotions those decisions bring. Relationship difficulties are also a common area of work, often linked to career stress or other life transitions. Many clients begin simply by talking through what feels overwhelming, then take small steps that brighten their outlook and lead to better outcomes over time.
After a lengthy career in education and counseling programs, he aims to return to a role similar to one he held in a university setting, where he worked individually with students, staff, and administrators across age ranges. He values the openness that emerges in those settings and the compelling life stories he has been privileged to hear.
Although many providers limit sessions to 30-45 minutes, he is available for longer appointments of 55 to 60 minutes when needed, offering extra time for deeper conversation and collaborative planning.
Many people wonder whether remote counseling truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy is generally seen as comparable to traditional in-person care for achieving meaningful progress.
One major advantage is flexibility – clients can meet in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would work better. For many people, the combination of professional support and adaptable formats makes online therapy a practical and effective choice.
