Eric Hannings, Pre-Licensed CMHC

My professional interests are rooted in Rogerian (person-centered), existential, and cognitive behavioral approaches to counseling. I value creating a warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences, values, and goals.

I am particularly inspired by the work of Viktor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom, whose perspectives on meaning, freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and the human experience have deeply influenced my approach to counseling. I am also drawn to Aaron Beck’s work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I enjoy helping clients develop greater self-awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
