About
Loren Aryeh Leib Ecker, LCSW
the therapy relationship
When a task force put together by The American Psychological Association’s Society of Clinical Psychology set out to identify empirically supported treatments, they found that the “therapy relationship makes substantial and consistent contributions to psychotherapy outcome independent of the specific type of treatment,” and that “the therapy relationship accounts for why clients improve (or fail to improve) at least as much as the particular treatment method.”
About Me
Hi, I’m Loren Ecker, and I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges that life and relationships bring. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Relational Life Therapist (RLT). I bring extensive clinical expertise and a compassionate approach to my work.
My Journey
With years of experience in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families, couples, and individuals facing a variety of issues, including:
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Addiction and recovery
-
Infidelity and trust repair
-
Communication and conflict resolution
-
Complex trauma and self-esteem struggles
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful connection. My approach combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a deep understanding of the underlying dynamics that impact relationships. By addressing root causes, I help clients achieve lasting change and greater emotional well-being.
“You don’t have to do anything especially worthy to create or deserve self-esteem; all you have to do is turn off that critical, haranguing, inner voice.”
— Dr. David D. Burns, MD
“Being the ‘best you can be’ is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another.”
— Dr. Sue Johnson, PhD.
What Makes My Approach Unique?
I specialize in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), an approach that focuses on empowering individuals to create balanced, fulfilling relationships. This method is particularly effective for couples seeking to:
- Break destructive patterns
- Enhance intimacy and connection
- Build a foundation of mutual respect and trust
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Together, we’ll identify practical strategies and tools to help you create the life and relationships you desire.
Outside the Therapy Room
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, exploring new places, and engaging in activities that nurture my own sense of balance and joy. These experiences enrich my understanding of the complexities of life and relationships, allowing me to connect with my clients on a deeper level.
