About Eric
Eric Eichler is a licensed counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, bipolar symptoms, ADHD concerns, and compassion fatigue. Eric works with practical goals and real-life problems rather than jargon-filled plans.
He favors a strengths-based, client-centered style. Sessions focus on what a person wants next and on building steps to get there. He uses talk, questions, and creative outlets like music or writing to make progress feel doable.
Background and approach
Eric has three years of professional experience and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. His background includes in-home family work and multi-year work in a residential pediatric mental health hospital. That experience shaped how he addresses trauma, adoption and foster care matters, and family of origin issues.
In sessions he blends approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive techniques help with unhelpful thinking and behavior, while mindfulness and skills from dialectical work support emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change.
People can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools. Eric often suggests short exercises between sessions and explores expressive activities like art or writing when that fits. He emphasizes reducing shame and building on strengths to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Eric often uses client-centered therapy, which centers sessions around a person's goals and priorities and follows their lead during conversation. This approach helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, and making clear decisions about next steps.He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related routines because it includes clear exercises and homework tools.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can help when anger, intense mood swings, or relationship conflict make daily life harder.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what works best for the person. That trial-and-adjust process helps shape a plan that fits needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and chat or text work well for quick check-ins or when written reflection feels helpful. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
