Eric Troy, LMHC

Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of experience. He uses client-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and midlife transitions. He speaks English and Romanian and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Eric trained in psychology and counseling, earning a master’s degree in Psychology with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling and later a doctoral degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. He completed an internship, went on to clinical practice, and holds Florida licensure as an LMHC. His background includes work in culturally diverse South Florida settings, which shaped his way of relating to a wide range of life experiences.

In sessions he draws on client-centered principles and structured techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe difficult experiences and set practical goals. Eric adapts his approach to each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed method.

Clients can expect direct, plainspoken conversations about the problems they bring. He works with issues including grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting strain, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses topics like abandonment, attachment, body image, and aging-related worries.

Eric aims to collaborate with clients on clear goals and step-by-step plans. He describes therapy as a shared process where the client’s story and strengths guide change. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy workflow and schedule based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps reflect what matters most, which can be useful for issues like self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with stressful situations.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help with anger, emotional ups and downs, and building steadier routines during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful.

For practical benefits of online work, confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Phone or video sessions may be used depending on what the therapist supports and what works for the client’s day-to-day life.
