Eric Eichler , LPCC

Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship strain. He works with individuals coping with parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Eric writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Eric draws on several therapy styles to meet people where they are. He emphasizes a client-centered stance that follows each person's goals and strengths. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build clearer, doable behavior changes. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are included when they fit a person's needs.

His background includes work providing in-home family therapy and several years of individual, group, and family work in a pediatric residential mental health hospital. That experience shaped how he supports people facing complex loss, trauma, and the stresses of parenting, adoption, or blended-family life.

Sessions often include creative outlets alongside talk therapy, such as music, art, writing, or poetry, when those help someone express feelings. Eric describes his approach as strength-based - helping people let go of shame and move toward practical next steps.

He has three years of clinical experience and holds an Ohio LPCC credential. Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at helping people develop coping skills, improve communication, and make steady progress toward their goals.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. The therapist encourages strengths and guides conversations so the client decides what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it uses straightforward exercises to test thinking patterns and practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, useful for intense mood swings and relationship strain.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and what the client feels comfortable practicing.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when helpful. These practical benefits can help people keep steady progress while balancing everyday demands.
