Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Erica commonly uses person-centered work that focuses conversations on the client's priorities and lived experience. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and shape goals that feel achievable. It is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and finding direction in life.

She also uses a strength-based perspective that highlights existing skills and resources. That approach helps people build confidence by practicing small, concrete changes and tracking progress over time. It can be especially helpful for self-esteem, recovery from addiction, and coping with mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Erica treats it as collaborative. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences, and adjust strategies as needed during treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or provide a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter reflections between sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit appointments into real life and maintain continuity of care.
