Erica Bellar , LPC

Erica Bellar is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, and depression. She practices in Colorado and focuses on practical support for coping with major life changes. Erica writes in a clear, direct way and aims to make therapy feel accessible to busy people.

Her work often blends person-centered care with cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person and on finding concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses coaching skills to help people set goals and take steps toward them.

Erica has supported people facing health challenges, chronic pain, and the emotional strain of pregnancy and postpartum changes. She also helps with body image concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and recovery from separation or divorce. Young adults and people handling workplace stress often seek her practical guidance.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Erica works to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through tough feelings, identify patterns, and try new coping strategies. She balances emotional support with clear next steps.

People may bring worries about panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, or isolation and loneliness. Erica helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and develops plans that fit real life. She offers therapy in English and provides sessions in several digital formats to suit different schedules.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Erica uses person-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques in online therapy. Person-centered work focuses on listening, understanding personal values, and building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at patterns of thinking and behavior and teach practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and handle panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Erica will discuss your goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She combines therapeutic conversation with coaching-style goals so you can track progress together and change direction when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls let you talk face to face when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or a way to work through steps between calls. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
