About Ericah

Ericah Saoudi is a licensed counselor practicing in Wisconsin. She holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related challenges.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady progress. She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people cope with panic, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a calm pace and an emphasis on what works day to day. Conversations explore current problems, patterns that maintain distress, and steps to change those patterns. Homework and skills practice are used when helpful.

Ericah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support coping and readiness for change. Her background includes work with mood disorders, addiction, trauma and life transitions.

She aims to help people build coping strategies, manage strong emotions, and move toward their goals. Ericah meets clients where they are and partners with them to find practical next steps. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a variety of online formats to suit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills, values, or mindful awareness.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text allow shorter check-ins and step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and keep therapy consistent during life changes.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
