She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and questions around self-esteem and body image.

She works in Washington and holds a Washington LMHC credential. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Erica’s approaches translate to online work

Erica uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which can suit issues like depression, anxiety, and stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for managing strong feelings, addiction triggers, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adapts exercises and pacing based on how someone is responding.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online or in-person options are currently offered before booking. In general, working remotely can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can use online appointments to teach skills, review homework, and practice communication in the moment.
