How Erica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Erica uses person-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques as core approaches. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a supportive relationship so people can explore what matters to them. Cognitive-behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erica works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. The therapist and client review what helps and try different strategies together until they find a good fit.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online or in-person options. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days, cut out travel time, or make it easier to check in during a work break. Other practical benefits include being able to continue care during life transitions and using homework tools between meetings to practice new skills.
