About Erika

Erika Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience in mental health care. She has spent much of her career supporting people who faced homelessness, young people, and those with serious mental health challenges.

Erika aims to create a calm space where someone can talk about what feels overwhelming and leave with at least one practical tool to try at home. She uses clear, direct methods and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Erika often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. Erika is comfortable working with people on the autism spectrum and with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

She describes her approach as compassionate but not permissive - she will support someone gently while also offering concrete steps to move forward. Many clients appreciate having doable strategies to test between sessions. Her background includes extensive hands-on work with vulnerable populations, which shaped her practical, problem-solving style.

Erika responds to each person's needs rather than following a rigid plan, and she checks in often about what is or isn't helpful. Erika practices in Texas and holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW.

Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, addiction issues, ADHD, grief, and other life changes.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotional patterns. It helps people understand how past and current relationships affect trust, closeness, and reactions to stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear strategies to test negative thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let a therapist and client work in real time with visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when internet bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still using attachment and CBT techniques to address relationships, anxiety, mood, and behavior.
