Eric Troy, LMHC

Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, hands-on therapy. He draws on fifteen years of experience to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related problems.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, achievable changes. He also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation.

Eric earned a master’s degree in psychology with a specialty in mental health counseling, and he holds a doctorate in industrial and organizational psychology. He completed his internship and went on to obtain his Florida LMHC credential. That background informs how he structures sessions and sets practical goals.

People who come to him often want tools they can use right away. He works to identify patterns that make life harder and then practices alternative ways of responding. The work aims to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning rather than relying on abstract theory.

He has worked in South Florida with culturally diverse communities, which shaped his approach to different backgrounds and life experiences. Eric offers sessions in English and Romanian and provides multiple ways to meet so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

How Eric's approaches translate to online care

Eric blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy with DBT skills to make online sessions practical and skill-focused. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship, which helps people feel heard while they work on change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for strong emotions or relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Eric collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That might mean a CBT plan for worry, DBT techniques for managing overwhelming feelings, or a narrative lens to reframe a story about past events. The plan adapts as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to engage. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals while balancing life demands.
