How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can apply day to day. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it teaches breathing, activity planning, and step-by-step behavioral changes to lower distress. Another approach targets mood and motivation by helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to improve mood and routines.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Erica will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what works for the person.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messages support ongoing check-ins, brief skill practice, and quick scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week while keeping focus on progress and practical skill building.
