About Eric Winton Counseling:
Online Therapy in California
Compassionate Therapy for Growth, Connection, and Healing
As an online therapy practice serving clients across California, we believe that healing happens through connection, within ourselves, with others, and in the relationships that shape our lives. Founded by Eric Winton, LMFT, our group practice consists of a team of dedicated therapists, all who share a commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care for adults and couples across the Bay Area.
Our Philosophy
Life can be messy and complex, and therapy doesn’t have to be. For those seeking help after trauma, navigating relationship turbulence, or simply yearning to understand oneself, our therapists deliver a grounded client‑centered approach that weaves together empathy, authenticity and evidence‑based care.
We see therapy as a collaborative process that meets you where you are, honors your story, and helps you move toward growth and self-trust at your own pace.
Meet the Founder - Eric Winton, LMFT
Eric, the founder and clinical supervisor of the practice, brings a stance grounded in trauma recovery, attachment theory, and mind‑body integration. Before turning to therapy, he spent years in ministry, where he discovered how empathy and simply being present can ignite the healing process.
Eric’s personal and professional experiences inspired him to build a practice grounded in integrity, inclusion, and genuine human connection. He continues to see a small number of individual and couples clients while mentoring and supervising the associate therapists on his team.
Our Team
Every therapist on our team adds a mix of their own training, lived experience, and clinical expertise to the practice. Together, we specialize in:
Trauma-informed care, including Brainspotting, somatic approaches, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Couples and relationship therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based work.
Support for anxiety, depression, and life transitions through mindfulness and acceptance-based models.
Each therapist has a distinct style, and all share the common goal of creating a safe, inclusive space for clients to find understanding, courage, and renewal.
We’re growing! As Eric Winton Counseling continues to expand, we’ll be welcoming new Associate Therapists in 2026. If you’re a pre-licensed or newly licensed clinician interested in joining a supportive, collaborative environment rooted in integrity and relational care, we’d love to connect.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity
As a practice, we affirm the dignity and worth of every person. We are LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, anti-racist, and committed to continued learning about the systems that shape our clients’ lives. We welcome individuals and couples of all backgrounds, belief systems, and identities. Whether spirituality is central to your story or not part of it at all, our therapists meet you with respect and openness.
