Online support
Approach-focused care delivered online
Erica uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering a listening stance that helps clients name priorities and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that change mood and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques bring practical coping skills for strong emotions and relationship difficulties, like grounding and emotion regulation.Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Erica will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That way the plan can change over time based on what helps most and what feels comfortable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls mirror an in-person conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options support regular contact, flexible scheduling, and practical follow-through on strategies discussed in sessions.
