Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and grief. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, relationship stress, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm. She adapts therapeutic tools to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions are individualized and goal-oriented. Erica uses skills from solution-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT to teach coping skills, build confidence, and reduce symptoms. She helps clients set achievable steps and track real progress over time.

Erica approaches therapy with sensitivity and plain language. She aims to make therapy approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Her style balances empathy with practical tools so clients can feel supported while doing the work.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes or persistent worry make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and issues like low self-esteem by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face conversations and skills practice, phone sessions offer a simpler audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in or get coaching between sessions. These options support consistency, flexibility, and access for people in different places and schedules.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
