How Erica works
Then she helps clients try new ways of communicating and managing strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with concrete steps to try between meetings.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, infidelity, jealousy, and forgiveness work. The focus is on clear skills that improve interactions and reduce daily anxiety. With five years of experience, Erica draws on practical tools and relational insight rather than jargon.

How Erica Uses Practical, Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Erica works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on improving relationships and reducing anxiety. One approach emphasizes building communication skills and recognizing unhelpful interaction patterns to reduce conflict and improve connection. Another approach targets attachment and abandonment-related wounds by helping people identify old patterns and practice new, healthier responses to stress and closeness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques to the concerns at hand. Together they choose strategies that fit daily life and adjust those strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for quick support, regular accountability, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
