About Eben
He spent much of his career providing individual and group therapy in community settings. That includes work at a local elementary school where he met with students and ran social learning groups, and time with a nonprofit that offers residential care for adults with developmental disabilities. Earlier work in a residential treatment facility exposed him to a wide range of behavioral and emotional challenges.
Eben uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to help people set concrete goals and try small changes. He often coordinates with other providers when needed, including schools and medical professionals. This makes him a practical option for carers who need a therapist who can interface with systems beyond the therapy room.
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Outside of practice he spends time in nature, hiking, surfing, and with his wife and two daughters.
People seeking support with relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, or caregiver stress will find a direct, experience-based approach in his work. Those looking for help with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, or end-of-life and hospice topics may also find relevant experience in his practice.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce stress and improve relationships. This approach is useful for parenting challenges, anxiety, and mood struggles.Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, achievable changes and clear goals. They work well when a person or carer wants quick, practical steps to try between sessions and measure progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their needs and goals. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new priorities arise.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people attend from different locations without rearranging other commitments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care and coordinate with schools or other providers when that is helpful.
