Yes, they are.
"Por lo tanto" is a bit more formal, I think - Tembló anoche; por eso hoy no hay clases. There was an earthquake last night, that's why there is no school today. - Hace mucho calor; así que se me antoja un helado. It's too hot; so I'm craving ice-cream. - Ha estado lloviendo mucho; por lo tanto, todo está encharcado. It has been raining a lot; therefore there are puddles everywhere.

In my experience, por eso and por lo tanto are fairly interchangeable.
por eso == that's why (as an interjection, por eso == exactly) por lo tanto == for this/that reason, because of this (slightly higher register than por eso) así que == so
