Eric Eichler , LPCC

Eric Eichler is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio who centers his work on helping individuals and families move forward from difficult experiences. He began his clinical work providing intensive in-home family therapy for a year and later provided individual, group, and family therapy in a residential pediatric metal hospital for eight years. During that time he worked primarily with people navigating PTSD and also supported those coping with ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and the unique dynamics of adoptive, foster, and blended families.

He has taught classes for both married and single participants and favors a strength-based approach that focuses on building a workable future rather than remaining stuck in past hurts. He aims to help clients let go of shame and guilt while developing practical skills for daily life. He is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and he integrates a range of therapeutic methods and expressive outlets, including music, art, writing, and poetry, to support healing and personal growth.

Eichler draws on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-informed strategies to tailor care to each person, seeking collaborative, meaningful progress with an emphasis on resilience and self-compassion.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Eric Eichler

Eric Eichler uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's values and pace, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood fluctuations. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eric works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts tools and expressive options so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver many of the same therapeutic techniques available in person while tailoring the experience to each client.
