About Eric
Eric Eichler is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio. He focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. He emphasizes practical help and straightforward conversation for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
He brings three years of counseling experience and prior work in intensive in-home family therapy and residential pediatric mental health settings. That background means he has spent time helping families and individuals cope with trauma, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the challenges that come with adoption and foster care.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses a strength-based, client-centered style. He listens first, then helps identify small changes that add up over time. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions.
He is comfortable using creative outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry when helpful. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies are sometimes blended into his work to support goal-setting and present-moment coping. Eric aims to reduce shame and guilt while building practical skills for everyday life.
Parents looking for straightforward guidance around family dynamics, parenting challenges, grief, or managing mood symptoms may find his approach useful.
How his approaches translate to online family and parenting work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps families and individuals identify their goals and strengths. This approach is useful when people need empathy and practical guidance for parenting or relationship challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In simple terms, it helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns.
The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to figure out which approaches fit best for their goals. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as needed so it stays helpful and realistic.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, follow up between meetings, and use shorter check-ins when full sessions are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt skills practice and creative activities to each format to keep therapy practical and accessible.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
