Approaches that guide online sessions
Erica draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach emphasizes building communication skills to reduce conflict and improve connection; sessions include role-play, rehearsing new phrases, and practicing listening strategies to make conversations easier. Another approach centers on managing stress and anxiety through practical coping tools such as breath work, behavior changes, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to help people regain control over daily routines.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Erica will discuss options and choose approaches based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and messaging provide brief check-ins, mood tracking, and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
