Eric Tillman, LPC

Eric Tillman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like parenting, sleep problems, or low self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues around attachment and communication.

Eric uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. He listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then he works with clients to set clear goals and try manageable steps toward change. Sessions feel focused and collaborative rather than full of jargon.

His work draws on several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. Client-centered methods keep the person's own values and choices at the center of the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness tools are used to build emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

Eric brings ten years of experience to his practice and aims to be culturally aware and respectful of different backgrounds. He often helps people who struggle with codependency, impulsivity, commitment worries, or control issues. He can also work with concerns like substance use, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue.

People can expect straightforward conversations, practical coping skills, and step-by-step plans tailored to their life. The focus is on what changes a person can try between sessions to feel steadier and more capable.

Online approaches that build practical skills

Eric commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and behavior patterns that feel stuck.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and values while the therapist offers active listening and support. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and staying present during strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eric collaborates with each person to choose which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT skill for a few weeks, adding mindfulness practices, or shifting to motivational interviewing when making behavior changes feels hard. The plan adjusts as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth when internet is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or ongoing feedback between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel.
