About Eric
Eric Tillman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. He focuses on everyday problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes. Eric brings ten years of clinical experience to his work and speaks English for all sessions.
He listens first and builds a plan with each person. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Eric uses practical techniques to address impulsivity, anger, and patterns such as codependency or avoidant behavior. His style blends client-centered listening with goal-focused tools. That means clients set the pace while he offers clear strategies from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Motivational interviewing helps when people want change but feel stuck. Eric also integrates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions and improve tolerance for distress. He offers supportive coaching around fatherhood concerns, relationship difficulties, and intimacy-related issues without judgment.
He pays close attention to attachment and abandonment themes that often underline repeated struggles. People can work with him online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients are accepted and sessions are arranged around the client’s schedule.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and then scheduling a first appointment.

Online approaches that meet parenting and life needs
Eric often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can practice new skills, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and parenting stress.He also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the therapist and client to set goals together. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are included when emotions run high; those tools teach distress tolerance and better emotion regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Eric treats decisions about methods as collaborative, adjusting techniques to match the client’s goals, values, and pace. He checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs to change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick reflections or between-session support without scheduling a full video visit.
