About Erika
Erika Delco is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Erika focuses on down-to-earth support for everyday struggles and bigger life shifts.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and work through relationship concerns. Erika also supports those facing low self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting strain, grief, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
How Erika works
Her work includes attention to eating and body image issues, adoption and foster care questions, and women’s and young adult concerns. Erika aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental. She creates space for people to say what’s on their mind and try out new ways of coping.
Conversations are practical and oriented toward what feels doable in daily life. Her approach draws on client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change thinking patterns, and solution-focused work to set clear, short-term goals. Those methods are used to help with decision making, reducing worry, and building more steady routines.
Erika encourages small steps that add up. She works collaboratively to set aims and track progress over time. People who want straightforward, compassionate support for stress, life changes, or relationship and self-worth issues may find her style a good match.

Approaches for change in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It creates space for people to express what matters most and decide what goals feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused therapy aims at small, concrete steps and measurable short-term goals to build momentum and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The process is collaborative - methods can be adjusted as sessions progress to match what proves most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or parenting responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
