About Eric
Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered care that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Eric speaks English and Romanian and practices from Florida as an LMHC.
Eric uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people find relief. He blends client-centered conversation with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions usually focus on what someone wants to change and small steps to get there.
Background and approach
He has a background in psychology and sociology, plus a master’s degree in psychology with a specialty in mental health counseling, and a doctoral degree in industrial and organizational psychology. That mix shapes a style that is practical and informed by work and life contexts.
Common concerns he addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, career stress, and parenting strain. He also helps with identity questions and LGBT-related challenges, body image, and codependency. Eric adapts his approach to the problem the person brings.
In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns and try different tools. He sees therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on building skills that carry over into daily life. Many people come away with clearer priorities and practical ways to cope.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what someone says, checks understanding, and helps them decide the goals for therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It often involves simple exercises and homework to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life hard. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. The work is shaped together, not imposed. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflection, or when a person prefers typing over talking. These formats help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping treatment focused on usable strategies and measurable steps.Frequently asked questions
