To begin, someone would select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to Erica’s availability. She practices in Florida and does not take international clients.

How Erica Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Erica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, behavioral activation, and step-by-step plans for managing overwhelming moments. This style helps people who need tools they can use between sessions.

She also uses problem-focused therapy to help people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, or role changes. This involves breaking problems into manageable pieces, trying specific changes, and tracking what helps. That method is useful for people who want clear goals and measurable progress.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Erica will discuss options, try methods that match a person’s goals, and adjust as needed. She works collaboratively to find what fits a client's needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is a good option when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, progress notes, or continued work between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.
