Eric O’Neill, LCSW

I work with adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages that are looking to make changes in their lives. Whether you’re an experienced therapy-goer, or just trying therapy for the first time, I look forward to meeting with you and exploring what the next step is for you.

When you’re evaluating if a new therapist might be a good fit for you, your child, or your family, I believe it’s important to have an idea about that therapist’s approach to treatment. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches in my work, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I hope the information below will help you understand more about my personal approach to therapy.

Things I aim to accomplish in my work:

Providing a non-judgmental, supportive environment

Talking with you in everyday language about what’s going on in your life

Using a flexible approach that we have determined together to be best for you

Providing practical advice when requested

Treating you with respect and dignity

Helping you look forward to your next appointment

Things I avoid in my work:

Making you feel that there is something “wrong” with you

Using “psycho-babble” that leaves you more confused than you started

Using a blanket approach that leaves little room for individual differences

Telling you what you “should” do

Making you feel small or foolish

Placing demands on you that leave you dreading your next appointment

I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I’ve lived in quite a few cities around the country before coming to settle in Raleigh. I received my BA in Psychology from Northwestern University in 2009, and completed my Master’s in Social Work at Boston College in 2013. I have 10 years of experience working as a family and individual therapist. My current license is with the North Carolina Social Work Board as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License #C010367.)  I am also currently licensed in Georgia and Virginia and can provide telehealth services to clients in those states.

In my free time, I enjoy swimming and playing floorball. I very much enjoy board games of all varieties and am an avid collector. I love animals and am a proud owner of two cats, Corwin and Totoro.
