Focus areas and approaches

Everything Erika lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Practical therapy approaches and online care

Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching step-by-step techniques to reduce intensity and regain control during a panic attack. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and stress in manageable pieces, helping people name what happened, understand reactions, and develop ways to feel safer in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to learn their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and then adjust the plan as needed based on what works for the client.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping sessions focused on progress and skills practice.
