About Dale

Dale Eichenberg is a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in counseling for about 12 years. He holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Siena Heights University and has substantial time focused on marriage and family concerns. He describes himself as open-minded and nonjudgmental when meeting people where they are.

Over the years Dale has supported parents and families involved in the foster care system. He has also worked with individuals experiencing major depression and issues related to alcohol use.

Background and approach

His practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Dale uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused ideas, and trauma-focused work to shape sessions.

That mix lets him match practical tools to everyday problems. In a typical session he focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. He helps people spot unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, and set small, achievable goals.

He also works with parents on communication and practical parenting concerns. People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work may find his style fits well. He practices in Florida and offers services in English.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change thinking patterns that increase stress or low mood. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step behavioral changes that fit well into everyday life. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges and often includes repeated practice of specific skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as they learn what works best. That means the first few sessions often focus on practical steps and a plan rather than a single fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness and behavioral homework in their actual daily settings. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools so therapy fits the client's routine and goals rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
