Erica Rosenthal , LMHC

Erica Rosenthal brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and couples, offering practical support for a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with challenges such as eating and sleeping concerns, parenting and career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex issues stemming from attachment and abandonment histories.

Licensed as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - in Washington, Erica draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches. She is foundationally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with attachment-focused and client-centered techniques to tailor care to each person. Her style emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist work together to set goals, build skills, and navigate change while honoring each person’s values and pace.

Erica aims to empower clients to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life. She is available for morning and mid-afternoon appointments and does not work weekends or evenings. Prospective clients can learn about modalities and scheduling options to find a best-fit path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - this approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support those facing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or impulsive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she employs to help clients clarify values, accept difficult experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful life goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with each person to explore what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds to ensure the care remains practical and aligned with the client’s values.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make attending sessions easier around work, family, and daily life. These options support ongoing progress by allowing consistent access to licensed professionals from locations that work for the client, while preserving the collaborative, skills-focused nature of Erica’s therapeutic work.
