About Eben
Eben Rogers is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He helps people with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Many who contact him are worried about attachment or adoption and foster care concerns. He writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for busy caregivers.
He has spent 10 years in private practice in Santa Cruz County, working with individuals, couples, and families. His earlier work included school-based therapy at Mountain Elementary in Soquel, where he met with students one-on-one and ran family-focused social learning groups. He also worked with the Listen Foundation providing care for adults with developmental disabilities.
Before private practice, he was a social worker at a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. There he led group and individual therapy and coordinated with schools, courts, and medical providers. That background shaped his approach to working with multiple systems on behalf of a client.
He uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn new ways to solve problems and communicate. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes that add up, and tools clients can use between meetings. He aims to make therapy useful and relevant to everyday life.
Eben earned a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He lives locally with his wife and two daughters and spends free time hiking, surfing, and exploring the Santa Cruz mountains and coast.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills, clear goals, and measurable steps. For example, cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to relieve anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused methods emphasize setting small, achievable goals and building on what already works to improve relationships or parenting routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds so sessions stay useful and focused.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person visits. It can also offer flexibility for caregivers juggling school, work, and appointments, and allow therapists and clients to share worksheets or plan tasks to use between meetings.
