Eric Bohl
My therapy style is compassionate and supportive. Clients find me engaging, warm and friendly. I've been a licensed psychotherapist since 1987 and I have experience with a variety of clients from differing age groups, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. During my career I've helped clients with relationship challenges, the expression and management of emotion, and improving their quality of life.
First session
We will certainly discuss the issue(s) that bring a client to therapy. And I'll clarify what the needs of the client so that I can meet them. We'll get to know each other and begin setting some goals. I also generally offer tools in the first session
Strengths
I have worked as a psychotherapist in a variety of settings with a variety of clients. I've been a Management Consultant and Trainer, Community College Instructor, an Outpatient Counseling Center Director, and a Clinical Supervisor who has helped numerous interns attain licensure and careers as licensed psychotherapists. So, I'm well-prepared to provide support, guidance and psychotherapy. My approach is interpersonal, supportive and challenging in the interests of my clients. As a client-centered therapist I adjust my approach to the needs of my clients, all of whom have unique life experiences as have I.
Ideal clients
Someone who is interested in improving their quality of life, learning to make effective decisions, manage their emotions and pursue a life of self-improvement and growth. A willingness to examine themselves and to take responsibility for their decisions and choices is ideal. Given the wide range of my experiences I adopt my approach to my clients rather than expecting them to adapt to me.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
My approach is client-centered and compassion-based. Learning effective communication skills and building meaningful relationships is an emphasis
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have extensive experience and training with ACT, where management and regulation of anxiety and trauma are effectively managed..
