About Erica
Erica Follick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, career stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Sessions address everyday problems like sleeping and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside a client-centered approach. She focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small changes to see what works. Conversations are practical and goal-focused, with steps to try between sessions.
In typical work with clients she reviews current struggles, sets short-term goals, and practices new skills in session. She talks through coping techniques for stress and anxiety, strategies to improve sleep and eating patterns, and ways to rebuild intimacy after loss or conflict. Career concerns and parenting questions are handled with concrete problem-solving and realistic plans.
Erica avoids diagnostic labels in favor of plain-language descriptions of what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She helps people weigh options and pick manageable next steps. Progress is checked regularly and plans adjusted as needed.
People who prefer straightforward, structured sessions that emphasize practical tools may find this approach useful. Erica works in English and is based in New York, using an approach that blends CBT methods with a client-centered focus.
How CBT and client-centered work online
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then practice small, testable changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and eating problems and for improving daily routines.She also draws on a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and adapting to what matters to each person. That approach focuses on the client’s priorities and keeps sessions collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Erica will work with clients to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences, and she reviews progress and adjusts plans together in session.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try tools and homework in their everyday setting so they can report back on what did and didn’t work.
