About Eric Rangel Oliveira
Eric Rangel Oliveira is an AASW accredited mental health social worker who brings four years of clinical experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions and challenges with self-esteem. He moved to Australia from Brazil eight years ago and practices in English and Portuguese, drawing on a trauma-informed, client-centred and non-judgmental stance to explore how past experiences shape present patterns.
Across his work he has supported individuals with mood disorders, trauma and stress-related problems, substance use and impulse control concerns, compulsions, obsessive tendencies, and issues related to minority stress among LGBTIQA+ clients. He has also focused on attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control struggles, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety, and the transition challenges common to young adults.
Eric uses an integrative toolbox that includes motivational interviewing, harm reduction principles, cognitive behavioural approaches, dialectical behaviour strategies, schema work, recovery-oriented cognitive therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. He aims to help people build strengths, increase self-efficacy and develop practical skills for mood regulation, stress management and healthier relationships. While his approach emphasises collaboration and gradual behaviour change, he seeks to tailor methods to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Eric commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and EMDR when working with people online. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood, and to support healthier coping patterns. Dialectical behaviour therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, making it useful for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric collaborates with each person to explore what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and to access therapy from familiar surroundings while working toward practical skills, mood regulation and improved relationships.
