About Eric

Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. He also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. Eric writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and hopeful for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.

He favors a strengths-based stance and helps people move forward from shame and guilt. Sessions can include talking, problem-solving, and creative outlets like music, art, writing, or poetry when those fit a person's needs. Eric has experience with adoptive and foster family situations and with people coping with life changes such as separation or loss.

Eric brings experience from in-home family therapy and from work in a residential pediatric mental health hospital. That background shaped his comfort with individual, group, and family work and with trauma-related concerns. He draws on a mix of approaches to match a person's goals and learning style.

His clinical toolbox includes client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practice, and motivational interviewing. Over time he helps people build skills to manage moods, handle conflict, and improve communication.

Eric has three years of professional counseling experience and holds an LPCC credential in Ohio. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Step 3

How Eric’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through fears, relationships, or shame. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. CBT is useful for stress, depression, and ADHD-related routines. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions can mix talking, skills practice, and creative exercises to suit individual goals and preferences.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make regular scheduling simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in person for remote work so people can practice skills between sessions and apply them to everyday life.
