Eric Eichler

Eric Eichler is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) who helps people cope with grief, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He works with individuals facing mood disorders, trauma, parenting challenges, and life changes. His manner is direct and practical, focused on finding workable steps forward rather than getting stuck on labels.

He draws on approaches that center the person in the room and build on strengths. Sessions often focus on skills for managing intense emotions and breaking unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses mindfulness and motivational techniques to support small, concrete changes.

Eric has experience in inpatient and residential pediatric settings and has provided intensive in-home family therapy. That background gave him hands-on time with trauma, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and adoptive and foster family concerns. He has also taught classes to married and single adults on relationship and life skills.

In practice he encourages creative self-expression like music, art, writing, and poetry when it helps a person process feelings. He aims to reduce shame and guilt so people can plan a better future. The tone in sessions is collaborative and strengths-based, with practical tools people can try between appointments.

With three years of professional practice as an LPCC in Ohio, Eric blends direct skill-building with opportunities to explore personal history. He helps people build day-to-day coping strategies while addressing the deeper issues that come up during change and loss.

How his approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, follows the person's lead, and supports choices that feel right. This helps with grief, identity questions, and relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings by changing thinking patterns and daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It offers concrete skills for handling strong feelings and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape how sessions proceed.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options when you book so you know how the therapist currently meets with people. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use expressive tools like music or writing between meetings to support the work done in sessions.
