Erica Tyler, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Erica

Erica Tyler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and life transitions. Erica keeps language direct and practical so worried parents can understand what to expect.

She focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon. Erica begins therapy by listening to where a person or family is now.

Background and approach

From that starting point she and the client build a plan together. Sessions emphasize trust, empathy, and straightforward problem solving. She believes a strong working relationship is the basis for progress.

Her sessions often use cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness tools are introduced to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Solution-focused steps help clients identify small, doable changes that move them toward their goals.

Erica brings a warm presence and a touch of humor when it fits the moment. She aims to make sessions feel collaborative and practical so families can try ideas between meetings. That approach helps parents and caregivers apply new skills at home.

Practicing in Ohio, Erica has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in several settings over her career. She invites people to start from whatever feels most urgent and to take therapy at a pace that suits their life and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Erica draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and practicing different actions, which works well in short, focused online sessions.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and calms stress, and those exercises are easy to practice between remote meetings.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She adjusts tools as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let a therapist and client see each other, while phone sessions remove tech barriers. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible between appointments. This range of formats can help parents and caregivers fit support into a busy schedule and try new skills at home.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

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.
