About Eric
Eric Eichler is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting challenges, and attention concerns. He also supports those coping with grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Eric aims for a straightforward, strengths-focused style. He works alongside people to build on what already helps them. Sessions often include talking, practical coping skills, and creative outlets like music, art, or writing when helpful.
How Eric works
His background includes several years providing intensive in-home family therapy and work in residential pediatric mental health settings. That experience exposed him to a wide range of issues including PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and work with adoptive, foster, and blended family situations. Eric uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
He adapts these tools to fit each person’s goals and pace, focusing on real changes rather than jargon. People who choose him can expect a collaborative, respectful atmosphere. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented but allow room for exploring feelings and family history.
The aim is to reduce shame, increase coping skills, and help people move forward from past difficulties.

Online support options
Approaches for online counseling and practical coping
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s strengths and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people set realistic steps forward. This approach suits those who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to work through personal and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and build better coping habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It is useful when anger, relationship conflict, or mood swings interfere with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress or challenges arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations.
