Eric Eichler , LPCC

Eric Eichler is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio who brings a strength-based focus to therapeutic work. He began his career providing intensive in-home family therapy for a year and then spent eight years delivering individual, group, and family therapy in a residential pediatric metal hospital. During that time he worked extensively with people affected by PTSD as well as those navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a range of anxiety-related concerns, and he has supported many adoptive, foster, and blended families.

He has experience teaching classes for both married and single individuals and emphasizes helping people move forward by building on existing strengths rather than dwelling on past mistakes. Eric aims to help others shed feelings of shame and guilt while developing practical skills for healthier relationships and daily functioning. He is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured, evidence-informed method for addressing trauma-related symptoms, and he integrates a variety of modalities and expressive outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry to support emotional exploration and healing.

As a clinician, he combines clinical training with creative tools and a collaborative stance to tailor care to each person's needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Eric Eichler

Eric Eichler draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the person's own goals, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns by creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space. CBT addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by changing unhelpful thinking and action patterns. DBT provides concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Eric works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting his approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling to fit busy lives, enable continuity of care from different locations, and make it easier to use expressive tools and between-session communication to reinforce progress with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the work.
