People who choose Erica can expect a collaborative process where their values and preferences shape the work. She encourages open conversation about goals and adapts techniques to what fits each person’s life and pace.
How Erica’s approaches translate to online therapy
Erica works from client-centered care and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person’s priorities and values, helping shape goals that matter to them. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful habits. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Erica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often combines approaches so the plan matches both the issue and the person’s pace.
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, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on busier days. It can also let people practice mindfulness and CBT tools during everyday routines and use DBT skills in real time between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques to work well in virtual settings, and Erica focuses on practical exercises that people can apply between meetings.
