About Eran

Eran Montiel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nine years of practice in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles that get in the way of daily life. He supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, attention concerns, and career stress.

He aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address and move toward practical steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

He uses a collaborative style - working together to set goals and choose approaches that fit each person. His work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current reactions.

Trauma-focused methods and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing support processing distressing memories when needed. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used to build focus, reduce reactivity, and increase motivation for change. Sessions mix listening, gentle guidance, and concrete strategies people can practice between meetings.

Eran believes therapy should match each person’s preferences and pace. He invites questions and takes time to explain options so people feel involved in their care.

How Emotion and Attachment Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. It focuses on identifying core emotions and reshaping how those emotions get expressed in close relationships or daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating and responding when old patterns arise.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when trauma memories cause ongoing distress. It involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger. In an online setting these approaches are adapted to pacing and the client's comfort level, with the therapist checking in regularly and adjusting methods as needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes brief explanations, trying techniques in session, and adjusting plans based on how the client responds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter, written reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, parenting, or school schedules.
