About Erica
With eight years of experience, Erica draws on several approaches to match the moment and the issue. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress.
Erica also incorporates Gottman Method ideas for relationship concerns and Motivational Interviewing when motivation is a barrier to change. She works with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and first responder stress. She also addresses hoarding concerns and intimacy-related struggles.
Sessions are designed to be practical and straightforward. Erica focuses on clear goals, teachable skills, and steps people can try between meetings. She encourages clients to notice small changes and to adjust plans based on what actually helps.
People who value a direct but caring approach may find her style useful. She encourages questions about methods and will explain why a technique might be tried. The work is collaborative, paced to individual needs, and aimed at steady progress.

Approaches that translate to online care
Erica commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address stress and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy means she will listen closely and shape sessions around what matters most to the client. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT brings concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Erica works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She starts with listening, then suggests techniques and checks in about what is helpful so the plan can change over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as using shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also allows continuity of care when schedules change, and supports trying skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt these approaches to work well in virtual settings, focusing on exercises, worksheets, and real-time coaching during sessions.
