About Erica
Erica Brodowski is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes short, direct sessions that aim to build motivation and practical skills.
Erica frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports people coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and self-harm struggles. Erica draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.
How Erica works
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Her approach is client-centered and goal-oriented.
Sessions usually focus on small, achievable steps toward the goals someone brings. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about changing patterns. Erica has six years of professional experience in community and crisis settings.
That background informs her focus on practical coping skills and short-term problem solving. She aims to adapt each session to fit a person’s needs and pace. People who choose Erica can expect straightforward, respectful conversation and concrete strategies to try between sessions.
She emphasizes partnership, empathy, and building confidence through steady progress.

Online support options
Using practical therapy approaches online
Erica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also a frequent tool and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will track what helps and adjust strategies over time to make progress at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can be useful for longer therapy work and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief updates, homework review, or flexible communication between scheduled meetings.
