Herbert Stricklin, LCPC

Herbert Stricklin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

He brings 35 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes, anger, addictions, trauma and mood shifts. Herbert adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's unique situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

His work includes attention to control issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood challenges, jealousy, and forgiveness. He also addresses sexuality and men's issues and supports people dealing with bipolar and other mood disorders.

Herbert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship and intimacy concerns and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories about themselves.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Herbert aims to create clear goals and step-by-step strategies so people leave sessions with things they can try between meetings. He encourages honest conversation and practical problem solving as part of the path forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and relationships

Herbert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that change daily routines and reactions. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.

He also draws on the Gottman Method when people bring relationship or intimacy concerns. That approach centers on communication skills, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection through small, practical exercises. Narrative Therapy is used to separate a person from painful stories they carry and to rewrite those stories in ways that open up new choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Herbert will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. He treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation, phone can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can be a shorter way to check in or process thoughts between meetings. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
