Eric Eichler , LPCC

Eric Eichler is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio who brings a strengths-based orientation to his therapeutic work. He began his clinical career providing intensive in-home family therapy for a year and then spent the next eight years delivering individual, group, and family therapy in a residential pediatric metal hospital. During that time he worked extensively with people experiencing PTSD and also supported individuals facing ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and challenges common to adoptive, foster, and blended families.

He has experience teaching classes for both married and single participants and frames his work around building toward a healthier future rather than remaining defined by past difficulties. He focuses on helping people move past shame and guilt while drawing on a variety of therapeutic strategies. He is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and he integrates multiple approaches along with expressive outlets such as music, art, writing, poetry, and other forms of self-expression to complement traditional talk-based techniques.

Eric emphasizes practical, client-centered interventions that promote resilience, stronger family connections, and improved coping. His experience spans work with individuals, families, and groups across a range of concerns including stress, relationships, grief, parenting, and mood disorders.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eric Eichler draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist collaborates to build on individual strengths. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers tools for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and coping with crises, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity of care when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from different locations while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
