About Eric
Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of experience. He works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to identity and relationships. He also lists work with LGBT concerns, career stress, addiction, grief, and parenting-related strain.
Eric trained at graduate level with a master’s degree in psychology focused on mental health counseling and completed a doctoral degree in industrial and organizational psychology. He completed clinical internships and later obtained his Florida LMHC license. His background includes many years practicing in South Florida, which exposed him to culturally diverse clients.
In sessions he uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered approaches, cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, narrative techniques, and solution-focused work. He aims to help people identify thought and behavior patterns, build practical coping skills, and make concrete changes that fit their day-to-day lives. Sessions tend to focus on real situations and workable steps rather than abstract theory.
Eric notes work with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and caregiver stress. He also lists support around sexual expression topics such as BDSM and kink, body image, and aging-related changes.
He speaks English and Romanian, and practices in Florida. For someone juggling early adult pressures like school, first jobs, relationships, and identity questions, Eric offers practical strategies and steady clinical experience to help sort through those challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Eric uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors. CBT often focuses on skills you can use between sessions to manage anxiety, mood, or work stress. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are helpful for handling intense feelings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric will collaborate with each person to select methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skill-building, or revisiting personal narratives to adjust how life events are understood.
