About Erica

Erica Follick is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings eight years of clinical experience and uses a warm, interactive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, aimed at meeting each person where they are.

Erica focuses on practical steps as well as emotional support. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize what feels important to the client.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. In sessions she listens without judgment and works with clients to set clear goals. Conversations are tailored to the situation, whether the concern is career pressure, grief, trauma and abuse, or intimacy-related issues.

She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and compassion fatigue as part of a broader plan. Erica offers a mix of coaching and therapeutic tools when appropriate. That can mean short-term problem solving or longer-term work on patterns that keep causing pain.

She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on concrete changes people can use day to day. Practical matters are part of the process. Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Erica commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment and helping them identify what matters most. It is useful when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make sense of their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. It works well for anxiety, stress, sleep and eating issues, and mood concerns by giving practical tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That means trying an approach, checking in, and shifting the plan if needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing parenting, work, and other demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for a camera, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, immediate ways to check in. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.

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.
