About Eric
Eric Tillman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who works with people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Background and approach
He supports clients coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar conditions, and other life changes. With ten years of clinical experience, he integrates several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s situation.
His style emphasizes collaboration and practical skill building, helping clients develop better coping strategies, improve communication, and manage impulses or compulsive patterns. Eric blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered attention and elements of dialectical behavior and mindfulness work, while also drawing on motivational interviewing when change feels difficult.
He aims to create an approachable atmosphere in which clients can explore attachment wounds, codependency, forgiveness, guilt, and challenges tied to parenting, fatherhood issues, or separation. Eric accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering flexible formats to fit different schedules and needs.
He frames therapy as a shared process focused on realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Integrating CBT, Client-Centered Care, and DBT Skills Online
Eric regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete strategies for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and addictive behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which can be helpful for stress, depression, and impulse-related concerns.He also relies on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person’s experiences drive the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting to foster personal insight and motivation. When emotional regulation or intense mood swings present challenges, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are woven in to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Eric works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He welcomes discussion about alternatives and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it possible to practice CBT exercises between meetings, review DBT skill work in real time, and maintain continuity of care when life or location changes occur.
