See online therapy optionsAbout Ericka
Ericka L. Ferrias is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and the daily pressures that leave people feeling stuck or unmotivated. Ericka works with clients who want clear steps to change thinking patterns and habits that get in the way of moving forward.
She uses practical strategies to identify root causes for problems. Sessions often focus on how thoughts lead to behaviors and what to try differently. Clients learn simple coping tools and new behavior responses they can use between sessions.
Ericka combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness approaches. That mix is meant to help someone notice difficult thoughts, accept what they can’t change, and commit to actions that align with their goals. Motivational interviewing and client-centered techniques are also part of how she supports change.
Work often includes planning small experiments and practicing concrete skills. People who come for help may address grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, addictions, ADHD, career stress, or identity issues tied to abandonment or attachment. Ericka also supports people dealing with first responder stress, midlife questions, and guilt or shame.
Sessions move at a practical pace and emphasize tools that fit everyday life. The focus stays on what the client wants to change and on measurable steps they can try between meetings.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Ericka combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short experiments. ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Client-centered work pays attention to the person’s priorities and pace rather than imposing a fixed plan.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try first. That way sessions can shift if a different method seems more useful over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when useful. It also supports working on mindfulness exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments in the settings where life actually happens.
