About Erica

Erica Keller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. She has 11 years of experience and brings practical care to family and parenting concerns. Erica aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for busy families.

She trained in psychology at the University of Central Florida and earned a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Background and approach

Erica spent two years counseling as a registered mental health counselor intern before earning full licensure. Her professional credentials include LMFT and LMHC with the state of Florida. Erica works with a broad range of issues, including relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD.

She also focuses on communication problems, caregiver stress, domestic violence, infidelity, and multicultural concerns. In session she uses familiar tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other client-centered methods to help people change thinking patterns and coping habits. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative.

She aims to create a space where clients can talk through what’s happening and find small steps that help. Parents and partners often appreciate a clear plan and practical strategies they can try between sessions. Erica offers therapy through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so families can fit care into their schedules.

She encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the approach feels right.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps families feel understood so they can decide next steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapists collaborate to blend listening, skill-building, and short-term solutions that fit each family’s needs.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. This range of formats helps parents and partners access care between work and family responsibilities, follow up with short check-ins, or schedule fuller conversations when time allows. The goal is to make it easier to get consistent support and practical tools that can be used at home.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
