Erica Keller , LMFT, LMHC

Erica Keller is a licensed therapist based in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with over 11 years of clinical experience. She holds the credentials LMFT and LMHC - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings a background in rehabilitation and mental health counseling to her work. Erica earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, including a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy, from the University of South Florida. Prior to full licensure she provided care as a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern for two years.

Erica works with children, teens, and adults on a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, transitional life stages, neuro-developmental disorders, couples issues, and trauma. Her approach is eclectic with a primary emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also draws on client-centered and solution-focused strategies when appropriate. She aims to create a session environment where people feel respected and supported while learning practical tools to reframe negative thinking and build resilience.

Erica positions herself as a collaborative partner rather than the sole expert on a client's life, offering guidance and support as individuals and families navigate change, healing, and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Support Delivered Online

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past trauma and support recovery through techniques that help process difficult memories and manage trauma-related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy guides her interactions as well, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities shape the work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts strategies over time so the treatment fits each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to licensed professionals. Sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats can make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life transitions.
