Eric Troy , LMHC

Eric Troy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings 15 years of clinical experience to his work with individuals and families. He developed an early interest in psychology and counseling, completing dual bachelor degrees in Psychology and Sociology before earning a master’s degree in Psychology with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling and a doctoral degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. After finishing his internship and initial clinical training, he obtained his professional license and began a career focused on helping clients navigate change and regain balance.

Practicing in a culturally diverse region of South Florida shaped his ability to work effectively across backgrounds and life experiences. Eric uses a mix of approaches that are tailored to each person’s needs - blending client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and dialectical techniques as well as narrative and solution-focused strategies. This flexible toolkit allows him to address a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, career and parenting challenges, and intimacy-related matters.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, drawing on each client’s strengths while offering practical skills and insight to manage life transitions, improve coping, and pursue long-term goals. Eric is bilingual in English and Romanian and is accepting new clients in Florida who are seeking support for the issues he lists as specialties.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Eric integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and solutions while the therapist follows the client’s lead. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are central to a client’s goals. DBT teaches practical skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships, making it helpful for mood instability, impulsive behaviors, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eric works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits - clients can meet via video calls, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins. This flexibility helps therapy fit into busy lives, supports continuity through transitions, and makes accessing a licensed professional more convenient for many people.
