Eric Eichler

Eric Eichler is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and grief. He works with adults facing mood and attention challenges like bipolar disorder and ADHD, and supports those coping with trauma, parenting strain, and major life changes.

He focuses on practical steps rather than labels. Sessions aim to build on clients' strengths and reduce shame and guilt. He often uses expressive outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry when these fit a person's needs.

Eric draws on several familiar approaches to therapy. He uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. He also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for emotion regulation when those are helpful.

His background includes intensive in-home family therapy and work in a residential pediatric mental health hospital. That experience involved individual, group, and family work with trauma, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and adoptive and foster families.

In sessions, Eric aims to create clear, achievable goals. He helps people practice new skills between meetings and checks progress together. The emphasis is on small steps that fit into daily life and build toward longer term change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Eric uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering listening and guidance that reflect the client's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and choose goals that matter to them.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and many common life problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are sometimes used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT-style skills can help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in on what helps and adjusting plans as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. Ask about specifics when you match so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
