How Erica Uses Talk Therapy and Practical Techniques Online

Erica draws from client-centered therapy to follow each person's concerns and goals. That approach means sessions begin with open listening and reflection so the client’s own priorities guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change everyday habits and moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help you choose methods based on your goals, comfort level, and what you find helpful in early sessions. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are common as you learn what sticks.

If you want online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Many people find it simple to practice skills between sessions and bring concrete situations from daily life into talk therapy, which supports work on thoughts and everyday habits.
