About Eben
Eben Rogers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, and self-esteem. Eben also pays attention to blended family issues and other related challenges that affect household dynamics.
He began his career as a social worker in a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. That work involved individual and group therapy and coordinating with schools, medical providers, and social services. Later he provided school-based therapy at Mountain Elementary School in Soquel, doing individual work with students and running family-oriented groups.
In private practice he has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, autism, and grief and loss. He has also been involved with a nonprofit, the Listen Foundation, offering residential care support for adults with developmental disabilities. These roles gave him experience working with diverse cultural and social backgrounds and with other systems that affect clients' lives.
Eben uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused strategies. In sessions he helps people identify practical steps, build skills for communication and problem solving, and manage stressful transitions. He draws on his background coordinating with schools and community providers when clients need that kind of support.
Outside of work he lives in Santa Cruz with his wife and two daughters. He spends free time hiking, surfing, traveling, and exploring local rivers and forests.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stressful family interactions by teaching concrete skills for coping and communication.Solution-focused strategies concentrate on setting clear goals and finding practical steps toward them. This approach helps people in stepfamilies prioritize immediate changes, like adjusting routines or trying new communication tactics, rather than dwelling on the past.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy household schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone calls can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited, while video lets people use visual cues during conversations. Licensed professionals can help choose a format that fits everyday life without promising a particular setup.
