About Erica
Erica Cervantez brings a practical, strengths-based approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate hard moments and build on what already works for them. She focuses on trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, workplace and executive coaching, and compassion fatigue.
Erica emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative process.
How Erica works
Sessions aim to identify existing strengths and develop clear, doable steps forward. Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She helps people process painful experiences and practice new ways of responding.
For parents she offers strategies to manage stress and strengthen confidence around caregiving challenges. When working on self-esteem and motivation she breaks goals into small, manageable actions and tracks progress together. In coaching for professionals she supports clearer boundaries, goal setting, and sustainable work habits to reduce burnout and compassion fatigue.
Erica describes the first step as an act of courage and offers steady, practical support throughout the process. She partners with each person to set realistic goals, build skills, and celebrate change along the way.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Erica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process trauma and rebuild a sense of safety. This typically involves pacing difficult memories, learning coping skills for intense emotions, and practicing new ways to respond to reminders of past harm.She also uses structured coaching methods to support professional goals and improve day-to-day functioning. Coaching sessions focus on clear goal setting, problem solving, time management, and building healthier work habits to reduce compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, life circumstances, and preferences. That may mean adapting methods over time until the right fit emerges.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing encouragement between regular sessions.
