Eben Rogers

Eben Rogers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and self-esteem. He has ten years of experience helping people manage family conflicts, parenting challenges, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Clients will find straightforward guidance and practical steps to handle the day-to-day problems that wear on relationships and wellbeing.

He practices in California and has worked with a wide range of people across different settings. Eben spent time as a school therapist, doing one-on-one work with students and running social learning groups. He also provided care through a local nonprofit that supports adults with developmental disabilities, and he previously worked in residential treatment for emotionally disturbed children and adolescents.

Those earlier roles involved teaming with schools, medical providers, and social services, so he is used to coordinating care with other professionals when that helps the client. He often draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help people set small, achievable goals and change unhelpful patterns.

Eben earned a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz, before moving into clinical work. Outside of therapy he lives in Santa Cruz and spends time hiking, surfing, and exploring local natural areas with his wife and two daughters.

In sessions he aims to be practical and direct, helping clients learn tools they can use between meetings. He works at a steady pace and focuses on concrete steps for improving communication, managing impulsivity, and rebuilding trust after loss or separation.

How his approaches translate to online work

Many of the techniques he uses focus on clear, teachable skills. Cognitive behavioral methods look at thoughts and actions, and help people test new behaviors to reduce distress and improve relationships. Solution-focused work zeroes in on small, realistic goals and steps clients can use between sessions to change their situation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. Together they’ll track what helps and adjust the plan as they go.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person visits. Some formats also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or have shorter focused sessions when that fits daily life better. Licensed professionals can adapt cognitive behavioral and solution-focused exercises to work in a remote setting, and the therapist will help identify the best way to deliver sessions based on a client's schedule and goals.
