About Erica

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to address goals and coping skills.
Sessions focus on practical steps and measurable progress. Erica works with each person to set clear goals and build small, repeatable habits. She offers concrete tools for managing symptoms between appointments and for handling difficult moments when they come up.
Her background includes work in community settings and crisis services, which informs her approach to safety planning and short-term problem solving. She aims for direct, respectful interactions and explains techniques in plain language so people can use them in daily life.

How CBT and related approaches are used online
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on practical exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and commit to actions that matter despite difficult feelings. ACT emphasizes mindful noticing and value-based goals, which can guide daily routines. Erica also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and to adjust pacing and topics based on feedback.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match goals, preferences, and what is working in practice. That process can include trying CBT exercises for a few weeks or mixing techniques from ACT and DBT when skills-based practice is helpful.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and use written exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can assign worksheets, track homework, and focus sessions on concrete skills so therapy can fit into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
