Background and approach

She supports people exploring sexuality, LGBTQ concerns, and women's mental health without judgment. Erika uses evidence-based methods to build coping skills and improve communication. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts.

Her work includes addressing trauma, self-harm risk, and problems with substance use. With nine years of experience as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - she combines empathy with structured approaches that aim for clarity and progress. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Erika practices in Michigan and conducts therapy in English. She helps people set realistic goals and practices that fit everyday life. Her focus is on steady, usable steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Erika commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and helping someone find their own solutions and priorities.

She also draws on motivational interviewing when people want help with change but feel uncertain or stuck. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and practical next steps for issues like substance use or making parenting adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erika will talk with the person about goals, try a method, and adjust as needed so the work fits their situation and pace. The aim is to find what feels useful and doable rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use brief check-ins when needed. The format supports steady progress by allowing work to continue between in-person commitments and across different locations.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
