How Erica’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance, and motivation problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for depression, worry, sleep issues, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people struggle with substance use or self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with what matters most to the client and adapt methods as progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share brief updates, practice skills between meetings, or check in on a tight schedule. These options support flexibility while keeping the focus on concrete tools and steady progress.
