Hi! I'm Eric Hamm, LCSW. I earned a MSW from Loyola University Chicago in 2005 and have been working in the Social Work field for well over a decade. I am a compassionate and goal-oriented therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life transitions, new challenges, and long-standing barriers. With years of experience in various social work settings, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique stresses people face when managing change, whether it's in their personal, professional, or relational lives. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and supportive techniques. I work collaboratively with clients to help them build practical coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and develop a greater sense of empowerment in managing stress and anxiety. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals facing life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or other personal milestones, as well as those who feel stuck or overwhelmed by long-standing challenges. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns while working towards meaningful, sustainable change. My goal is to help you feel more confident and resilient, equipping you with the tools and strategies you need to cope with life’s difficulties and move forward with clarity and purpose. Sessions are conducted online, offering flexibility and convenience for clients navigating busy lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other and explore the challenges you're currently facing. From there, I’ll work with you to develop a personalized plan that we can build on in our future sessions, focusing on what matters most to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I bring a deep sense of empathy, a commitment to understanding your unique experiences, and a supportive approach that creates a safe space for growth. I’m goal-oriented and focused on helping you make tangible progress, but always at a pace that feels right for you. My priority is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and work alongside you to build a path forward that aligns with your needs and aspirations.
