About Eric

Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience who draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and identity-related challenges.

Background and approach

He completed graduate work in mental health counseling after earning dual bachelor degrees in psychology and sociology, and he also holds a doctoral degree in industrial and organizational psychology. His training and practice in Florida’s diverse communities shaped a flexible, culturally aware approach to clinical work.

His style emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical skills tailored to each person’s situation. Eric uses cognitive and behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and narrative techniques, and he incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.

He has worked with clients facing addictions, parenting and family struggles, trauma and abuse, career transitions, mood disorders, and intimacy-related issues, and he adapts methods to the presenting concern rather than following a single formula. Fluent in English and Romanian, Eric offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore strengths, process loss, and build coping tools.

He practices in Florida as an LMHC and combines clinical experience with a problem-focused orientation to help people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable daily functioning.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Care

Eric uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. He also draws on client-centered therapy to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work. When emotional regulation or interpersonal patterns are central, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills can be introduced to build distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication tools.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to assess needs, priorities, and preferences and will adapt techniques over time so the treatment plan fits current goals and life circumstances. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape the focus of sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to practice skills between sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy routines while working with a licensed professional in Florida.
