About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on anxiety and stress. He helps people facing depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and identity or intimacy concerns. Eric uses straightforward language and practical steps to make therapy feel approachable for someone worried about next steps.
He draws on client-centered work to shape sessions around each person's goals. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness exercises are offered when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Eric has worked in family and residential care settings and has experience with adoptive and foster families. That background informs his approach to family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, and complex relational patterns.
He also supports people with ADHD, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. In session he leans on strengths and on creative outlets like music, writing, and art to help people express themselves. He values collaboration and keeps goals practical so progress can be measured week to week.
Sessions are meant to help people move forward from shame, set boundaries, and build skills for daily life. Eric has three years of experience as a clinician and holds an Ohio LPCC credential. He offers therapy in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and experience. In online sessions this means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and moves at their pace to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thinking patterns and test small behavior changes; it works well online because homework and real-life experiments can be planned and reviewed between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships and is useful when daily skills practice is needed.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and try strategies that fit those needs. If something isn't helping, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a more traditional session feel matter. Phone sessions are a good fit when a quieter, simpler check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain momentum between meetings.
