About Eric
Eric Eichler is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and relationship issues. He approaches sessions with directness and patience so parents can find practical ways to cope. His style is down-to-earth and aimed at everyday problems.
He draws on client-centered methods to make room for each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness strategies appear when people need tools for emotion regulation and staying present. Eric has several years of experience in residential pediatric settings and worked in intensive in-home family therapy earlier in his career. That background means he is familiar with complex family arrangements, adoption and foster care dynamics, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.
Sessions often include practical exercises and expressive options such as writing, music, or art when that helps people communicate. He favors strength-focused conversations that reduce shame and build forward-moving plans. Parents can expect clear steps and coping strategies to try between sessions.
He offers multiple online formats to fit busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Eric works in English and practices from Ohio as an LPCC. The emphasis is on collaboration and straightforward tools for change.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values, so sessions start with what matters to the client and build from there. This approach helps parents set priorities, find their strengths, and make concrete changes that fit family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In online sessions Eric uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. DBT-style skills can help people manage anger, mood swings, and relationship conflicts that affect parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, get brief coaching between sessions, or work through daily challenges without scheduling a full call.
