Eric Eichler

Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship concerns. He works with issues like parenting strain, grief, self-esteem, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar mood changes. His approach aims to reduce shame and guilt so people can move forward with clearer goals.

He draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness approaches. Sessions emphasize strengths and practical steps. Activities can include talking, creative work like writing or music, and skills practice to manage intense emotions.

Eric’s background includes work in intensive in-home family therapy and many years providing individual, group, and family therapy in a residential pediatric mental health hospital. That experience involved supporting people with post-traumatic stress and complex clinical concerns, and working with adoptive, foster, and blended family situations.

He keeps plans focused on what the person wants to change. Goals are practical and broken into small steps. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, coping tools they can use between sessions, and chances to try expressive outlets if that feels useful.

Eric has three years of clinical practice as an LPCC in Ohio. Before counseling he taught classes to married and single adults, and he incorporates education and coaching into therapy when it helps move people toward their goals.

How trauma-aware and skills-based approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the hold of past traumatic events by helping people process memories and build coping skills. It often uses step-by-step strategies to lower distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans over time. Decisions about using trauma-focused techniques, CBT tools, or mindfulness practices happen together so the work feels manageable and useful.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be hard to arrange. Practical benefits include being able to use digital tools for skills practice and to continue momentum between visits.
