With four years of professional experience as a therapist, Erica draws on a variety of clinical approaches to tailor support to each person she sees.

Clients have given feedback noting that she is calm, a great listener, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, and that she provides a space where people can feel comfortable communicating their concerns.

Erica aims to be a supportive partner who walks alongside clients through challenging moments and practical life changes. She is experienced addressing both short-term goals and deeper trauma work, and she adapts methods to fit individual needs and preferences. Erica is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Erica uses client-centered therapy to create a safe, empathetic setting where the person remains at the center of the process - this approach emphasizes respect, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another key approach she employs; CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic experiences are a core part of someone's difficulties; this work addresses the impact of trauma and helps clients build coping skills and process painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels practical and relevant to each person's situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
