About Erica
Erica Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

She uses tools from client-centered therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
How Erica works
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Erica helps people set clear, achievable steps and practices to use between meetings. She addresses a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and coping with big life changes.
Erica also offers support for stress linked to work roles like first responder issues and for specific challenges such as hoarding. She uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when emotions run high. With eight years of experience, Erica blends practical strategies and collaborative planning.
Her style is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping people find small, steady changes that add up over time.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy and flexible sessions
Erica uses client-centered therapy to guide sessions around each person's priorities, creating space to be heard and to decide goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors that lead to clearer results and reduced symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as you progress. Together you set small, measurable steps that can change how you feel and function day to day.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports shorter or ongoing contact between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
