Herbert Stricklin, LCPC

Herbert Stricklin is a licensed counselor who helps people facing midlife challenges and related struggles. He focuses on practical steps that reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve relationships. Herbert writes treatment plans to fit each person's situation and talks through what matters most to them.

He uses straightforward conversation and structured techniques to address depression, coping with life changes, and intimacy concerns. Herbert draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and rewrite the stories that get in the way of change.

With 35 years of experience as an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - he brings long-term practice in working through anger, addictions, trauma and mood concerns. That experience informs how he sets goals and adjusts methods to fit each client's pace.

Herbert also attends to issues like control, jealousy, fatherhood challenges, divorce and forgiveness. He aims to make sessions direct and usable, not full of jargon. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small experiments clients can try between meetings.

People who choose him should expect respect, sensitivity, and steady support while they work toward a more satisfying life. He invites anyone ready to take that first step to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How his approaches guide online work

Herbert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that increase stress and depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments to shift thoughts and behavior over time.

He also draws on Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about themselves. This approach helps separate a person from a problem and opens ways to create new, more helpful life narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Herbert will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what the client wants to change and how fast they want to move.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or offer a quieter setting when that helps concentration. It can also allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings depending on what the client needs and what the therapist offers.
