About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma and related concerns.
Background and approach
He draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people navigate grief, relationship strains, parenting challenges, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, and issues like ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Eichler emphasizes practical skills and emotional insight to address anger, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related concerns, and a range of family-of-origin or adoption and foster care matters.
With three years of clinical experience, his background includes work in intensive in-home family therapy and extended work within a residential pediatric mental health hospital providing individual, group, and family services. He favors a strength-based outlook that helps clients build toward the future while reducing shame and guilt.
Eichler also integrates expressive outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry when helpful to enhance processing and healing. He practices with an emphasis on collaboration and concrete strategies, using therapies like cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Eric integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to provide both structure and empathic support. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore values and personal goals.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or intense mood swings are present; DBT offers specific tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Together these approaches allow for skills training, reflective work, and tailored interventions based on the issues a person brings to sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and he works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean blending strategies across modalities or emphasizing skills work first and deeper exploration later.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support between sessions, and adapt sessions to what works best for the individual.
