Ericka Dorlean-Febles, LCSW

Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults to address relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns, and problems that show up around work and purpose. Her approach aims to make therapy clear, practical, and useful for everyday life.

Ericka combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can take between meetings.

With 13 years of experience, Ericka draws on hands-on practice rather than jargon. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, isolation, and discrimination affect emotions and choices. She helps people untangle communication problems, codependency, and blended family issues to find workable next steps.

She works with concerns such as anger, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and compassion fatigue by building coping strategies and clearer routines. Divorce, separation, domestic violence, and fatherhood issues are other areas she addresses through practical planning and safety-aware conversations.

How Ericka Uses Practical Therapies Online

Ericka uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that worsen mood or anxiety and then try small, structured changes. This approach is useful for stress, depression, anxiety, and managing mood swings.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations around each person's experience, listening closely and helping people set their own goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing a change or needs help building motivation to try new habits and routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and needs, and adjusts as progress is made. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for a close, conversational session while phone can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try techniques in real time.
