How Erika’s Approaches Work Online

Erika uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, creating a space where clients decide what to address and when. This approach helps people who need empathy and steady support as they sort through feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches simple skills to change those patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, body image concerns, and eating-related struggles by teaching practical ways to test and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to lean more on listening and reflection, CBT skills, or quick solution-focused steps to meet immediate needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for a more personal, face-to-face feel. Phone works when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins and flexible communication between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, or daily routines.
