About Eric

Eric Troy uses down-to-earth, client-centered care as the base of his work. He begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so parents and adults can see progress between meetings.

Eric is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC with 15 years of experience practicing in Florida. He studied psychology and sociology at the bachelor level, earned a masters degree in psychology with a specialty in mental health counseling, and also completed a doctoral degree in industrial and organizational psychology.

Background and approach

He completed internship training and holds the Florida license FL LMHC MH11564. In sessions he blends straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered listening. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy and narrative and solution-focused approaches when they fit a person's needs.

The aim is to match tools to the problem rather than force a single method. His work covers many concerns that commonly affect adults and parents. Common topics include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, parenting, self-esteem, career and life changes, addiction concerns, and trauma or abuse.

He also addresses areas such as communication problems, caregiver stress, and attachment issues. Eric speaks English and Romanian and draws on more than a decade of practice in Florida. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set achievable steps.

For a parent who needs practical support and calm problem-solving, his sessions aim to be direct, respectful, and focused on real change.

Approach-driven care for online therapy

Eric combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to make online work practical and solution oriented. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a persons priorities so sessions reflect what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and offers simple tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress.

He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are a priority. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship or parenting stress. Determining which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will ask about goals and try methods that fit the persons life and preferences rather than imposing a single plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other commitments while keeping the focus on clarity and progress. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to use CBT, DBT, or client-centered techniques so work continues between sessions.

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.
