About Eric
Eric Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting concerns. He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and challenges that come with life changes.
He aims for straightforward sessions where clients talk about what is happening now and how it affects day-to-day life. He uses tried methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build coping skills. Sessions are aimed at practical improvements people can notice between meetings.
In his practice he draws on client-centered ways of working that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify thinking patterns and DBT skills for emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help changing behaviors like substance use or other habits.
Eric pays attention to cultural background and the specific pressures men and young adults often face. He helps people talk through communication problems, commitment and control issues, and fatherhood concerns. He supports work on abandonment, attachment, codependency, and related patterns that affect relationships.
Clients can expect direct feedback, skill-building, and follow-up between sessions. He encourages setting small, concrete goals and tracking progress. For people dealing with grief, trauma, or addiction, the focus is on stable steps forward rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-centered work focuses on listening to the person’s perspective and building therapy around their concerns. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through decisions, relationship worries, or stresses at home. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication and impulse control. Those skills can be useful when anger, impulsivity, or relationship cycling are present.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first, adjust techniques based on what helps, and set clear goals together. That process is gradual and guided by the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use tools like worksheets, thought records, and skill-practice between sessions to reinforce learning.
