She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on strengths to handle hard moments.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with people facing life changes and motivation challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle patterns that keep problems going, and on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's needs.

Erica also uses mindfulness practices to help manage stress and emotional ups and downs. Motivational Interviewing techniques are part of her approach when someone wants help changing habits or addressing addictions.

People who prefer straightforward language and step-by-step plans often find her approach helpful. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress regularly. Erica works with people across a range of concerns and supports them as they try new ways of coping and living.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment and following their priorities. Online sessions let Erica listen closely and reflect what matters to the client so goals come from the client's life and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily life. Through video or chat, she helps people try specific exercises and track small changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques translate well to phone or text check-ins and can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica collaborates with each person to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust methods as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and maintain steady contact as change unfolds.
