About Ericka
Ericka Ferrias, LPC, practices a practical, down-to-earth style of therapy aimed at people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. She focuses on helping clients manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and the everyday stress that makes life hard to get through.
Her approach centers on identifying what keeps patterns going and building new ways of thinking and coping that fit each person's life. She uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and actions.
How Ericka works
Sessions often include simple exercises, short skills practice, and clear steps to try between meetings. The work is collaborative - the client stays in charge while she offers structure and guidance. With 11 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, Ericka draws on several evidence-informed approaches.
She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and mindfulness techniques. Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods shape sessions to the client's pace and goals. Ericka helps people address a wide range of concerns, including stress, addictions, relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, ADHD, grief, career questions, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
She also supports work on attachment and abandonment issues, control and commitment struggles, and multicultural concerns. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Getting started is a simple process: select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ericka commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. That conversation shapes which methods are emphasized and how skills work is structured between sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer written communication. These options help fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while keeping the focus on learning skills and making steady progress.
