How Erika works
Sessions center on understanding current problems and building everyday skills to manage them. Her style is warm and easygoing with a strength-based outlook. Conversations are collaborative: she asks about what matters most and then tailors techniques to fit each person’s life.
Practical methods include behavior-focused work and emotion-skills practice to make small changes add up. Erika combines attachment-focused ideas with cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people improve relationships and emotional regulation. She integrates emotion-focused work when deeper patterns show up and uses dialectical skills for managing intense feelings.
The emphasis is on clear, doable steps rather than theory-heavy sessions. Across seven years in social work practice, Erika has supported people across the lifespan and brings maternal infant mental health experience to parenting concerns. Her Michigan-based LMSW credential reflects clinical social work training and practice.
She offers sessions in English and accepts clients internationally.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online sessions use discussion and exercises to notice those patterns and try new, healthier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and following what the person brings to the session, helping them find their own solutions through empathic conversation and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which works well in brief video or messaging check-ins.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routines. That decision can shift over time as needs change, and techniques are mixed to suit the client’s progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions when bandwidth or screen time is limited, live chat for quicker exchanges, and text messaging for ongoing check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, and other responsibilities while keeping therapeutic momentum between meetings.
