About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, codependency, trauma and abuse, mood challenges such as bipolar disorder, and parenting or family concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than labels.
He draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in what the person wants to change. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear in his work when focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Eric has experience delivering in-home family support and working in residential pediatric mental health settings. That history means he is familiar with adoptive and foster family dynamics, ADHD, trauma responses like PTSD, and complex mood problems. He also has led classes for married and single adults on relationship topics.
In sessions he uses a strength-based stance that highlights skills a person already has. Creative outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry may be invited as ways to express feelings or practice new behaviors. He aims to reduce shame and guilt by helping people notice what they can change next.
People who want direct, skills-focused work around boundaries, people-pleasing, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes may find his style straightforward and practical.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify priorities, and supports the person in choosing what to try next. This approach is helpful when someone needs to sort out values, relationships, or what matters most in day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to test unhelpful beliefs and build new routines. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and habits that keep people stuck.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills offer concrete tools for handling strong emotions. Those include distress tolerance and emotion regulation practices that can reduce reactivity in relationships and crises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning may shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step so sessions match everyday life and practical constraints.
