About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. The tone in sessions is practical and strengths-focused, aimed at helping people move forward from past hurts.
Eric draws on straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people build skills and cope day to day. He uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and shape therapy around each person’s goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions.
His background includes several years providing in-home family work and clinical roles in a pediatric residential hospital setting where he did individual, group, and family therapy. That experience shaped his approach to complex trauma, PTSD, and adoption or foster-related concerns.
Sessions often include expressive options such as music, art, writing, and poetry when those outlets suit the person. Eric emphasizes strengths and works to reduce shame and guilt while helping people make practical changes in their lives.
With three years of clinical experience and a focus on real-world coping, he aims to help people build routines and skills that fit daily life. People who want a direct, empathetic counselor may find his style accessible and action oriented.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Eric often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in planning their next steps. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on method that identifies thought patterns that get in the way and replaces them with more helpful ones to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for learning ways to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day needs, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques may change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since specific online options are not listed here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and eliminate travel time. Tell the therapist about practical constraints and preferences during the intake so sessions can be planned to fit everyday life.
