About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and codependency. He uses straightforward language and a strengths-focused style to help clients move past shame and guilt. Eric aims to make sessions practical and grounded so clients can use what they learn right away.
He describes a low-judgment approach that centers the client's experience. Sessions often include talking through immediate problems, building coping skills, and finding small changes that make daily life easier. He draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address mood, attention, and emotion regulation concerns.
Eric's background includes work in intensive in-home family therapy and many years in a residential pediatric mental health hospital. That experience involved individual, group, and family work with people facing PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.
He has taught classes for married and single adults and incorporates creative outlets like music, art, writing, and poetry when they fit a person's goals. Eric also uses Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness practices to support change and reduce reactivity.
Clients can expect an emphasis on building strengths, practical skill-building, and collaborative goal setting. His approach aims to help people find manageable steps forward while respecting their history and pace.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions and improving how people cope with stress and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and pace.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people include creative exercises such as writing or music work between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to remote sessions so clients can keep building skills and tracking progress in everyday life.
