About Eric
Eric Eichler is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and broader issues like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and grief. Eric aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.
He uses narrative-informed work to help people tell and revise the stories that shape their lives. Sessions emphasize a client-centered stance - the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead while offering tools and perspective.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when clients want concrete strategies for thoughts and behavior. Eric draws on short-term skills from dialectical behavior approaches and mindfulness practices to manage emotions and reduce reactivity. He also supports expressive outlets such as music, art, writing, and poetry when those feel helpful to the individual.
The aim is to pair practical skills with personal meaning. His background includes intensive in-home family therapy and work in residential pediatric medical settings. That experience contributed to working with adoptive and foster families and people coping with complex trauma.
Eric brings three years of clinical practice as an LPCC in Ohio. When people first connect, he focuses on what feels most urgent and workable. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
The goal is clearer thinking, fewer intense reactions, and a stronger sense of direction moving forward.

Online session options
Approaches that translate to online care
Eric uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and revise the stories they tell about themselves; this can help with identity, shame, family of origin issues, and coping after trauma. Client-Centered Therapy is another key piece of his work, focusing on listening, empathy, and helping each person set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supplies practical techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Eric collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people keep visual connection similar to in-person sessions. Phone calls can be lower bandwidth and easier when screens are difficult. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions while balancing work, family, and other demands.
