About Erika
Erika keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She builds an open space where people can say what they mean and feel heard without judgment. Conversations often start with what matters most now and move toward small, manageable changes.
Her work draws on Client-Centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Those approaches are used together to match what a person needs in the moment.
Erika has supported people with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and adoption-related questions, and body image or eating concerns. She also helps with life changes, women's issues, and finding direction in young adulthood. Her sessions are meant to fit daily life and real pressures.
Erika practices in New York and conducts work in English. If you decide to start, she guides people through beginning steps and goal setting so each session feels purposeful and connected to real needs.
How these approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what matters most, helps clarify feelings, and supports decisions people want to make. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and time to sort thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ideas. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and everyday habits that get in the way.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short-term, practical goals. Sessions concentrate on strengths, past successes, and steps that produce quick changes. It works well when you want to tackle a specific problem or make a fast plan for next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and try different techniques to find what fits. That lets sessions change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments around work or family schedules. It can also let conversations continue between in-person visits and make shorter check-ins more practical.
