Sessions often focus on communication skills, boundary setting, and managing strong emotions such as anger and resentment. She also supports issues around parenting, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and relationship strain. Practical planning and short-term skill building are common elements of her work.
Erica is open to discussing spirituality or Christian faith if a client requests it, and she does this in a client-led way. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Erica uses practical approaches in online sessions
Erica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy during sessions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger and anxiety.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and boost readiness for change. That approach helps people who feel stuck or unmotivated find reasons to try new strategies. Erica treats choosing methods as a collaborative task - she and the client will try approaches, review what works, and adjust the plan together based on what the client prefers and needs.
