About Erica
Erica Thompson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She approaches sessions with a straightforward and supportive style for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Erica believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy.
She aims to help clients use those strengths to move past barriers and find clearer goals.
How Erica works
Sessions often begin with practical steps and small goals that feel achievable. Her background includes seven years of professional experience in Florida working with common and complex concerns. Erica blends several approaches to match what a person needs that day, drawing on evidence-based techniques and mindful practices.
She listens for patterns that keep worries or habits repeating and works with clients to change them. In sessions she uses conversational, goal-oriented work alongside exploratory questions about meaning and values. Clients can expect concrete tools for coping alongside space to consider deeper questions about purpose and direction.
Erica also uses motivational techniques to help people find reasons to keep trying when change feels hard. Therapy can take different formats to fit a person’s routine, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Erica works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps people clarify their goals and strengths, which can reduce stress and build confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors through short exercises and practical homework.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life. It helps people notice automatic reactions and create more space to choose different responses when feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, short reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and help therapy fit into busy lives.
