About Erica
Clients meet a calm listener who focuses on practical steps and steady support. Erica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people understand patterns, manage symptoms, and set realistic goals. She also uses narrative and solution-focused tools when it helps to reframe problems and build short-term plans.
Erica commonly helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and challenges tied to sexuality and LGBT concerns. She also works with those coping with career change, addictions, ADHD, and aging or caregiver stress. Her approach is straightforward and relational - she listens first, then suggests small changes to test between sessions.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match what feels easiest. Erica typically communicates in the evenings and on weekends and checks messages at least once a day. She encourages people to pick a format that fits their daily life so therapy can be consistent and workable.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. The subscription-based service can be canceled at any time if plans change.
How Erica uses practical therapies online
Erica often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can change how they feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related coping strategies.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. That approach works well when someone needs steady support while they make changes. Narrative Therapy is another tool she may use to help people retell difficult experiences and reduce the power of painful stories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Erica works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful and realistic.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other demands. Phone or chat can be a quick check-in, while video calls allow deeper conversation when time and bandwidth allow. This flexibility helps people keep therapy consistent without major schedule disruption.
