About Eric
Eric Rangel Oliveira welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood or addictions. He introduces himself simply and directly, and helps clients talk through patterns that keep them stuck. Eric works in English and Portuguese and brings four years of clinical experience in Australia to his practice.
He focuses on practical change. Sessions look at what keeps difficult behaviours going and build small, manageable steps toward different choices.
Background and approach
He offers ways to manage mood, reduce anxiety and cope with cravings and urges. Relationship strain, self-esteem and feelings of isolation are also common topics he addresses. Eric uses a trauma-informed, client-centred style.
That means he listens for how past experiences shape current reactions and works with each person’s goals. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and EMDR among other approaches to tailor sessions to the person in front of him. He also applies mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people increase motivation and develop emotion regulation skills.
His aim is to help clients build small routines and skills that improve day-to-day functioning and self-belief. Originally from Brazil, Eric moved to Australia eight years ago. He is an AASW member, and has supported people with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-stress concerns, impulse-control issues and substance use over four years.
He invites anyone curious about change to start a conversation and explore what might help.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Eric commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. EMDR works with memories and body responses to lessen the hold of traumatic memories and reduce distress during reminders.He also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal communication. These skills are practised during sessions and given as short exercises to try between meetings. Choosing the right approach is a shared decision - the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life.
