About Ericka
Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and the strain of family or relationship conflict. She also supports people facing life changes, addictive behaviors, career questions, and parenting concerns.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions look at what causes flare-ups of anger and resentment. She helps clients name triggers, notice unhelpful thinking, and try different responses in everyday situations.
Ericka uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and understand where a person is coming from. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice new skills between sessions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when change feels overwhelming by focusing on practical next steps and building momentum.
She pays attention to family patterns such as blended family stress, communication problems, control issues, and fatherhood concerns. She also addresses the emotional fallout of divorce, domestic violence, prejudice, and isolation. Work on forgiveness, guilt, shame, and rebuilding trust are part of the practical work she offers.
Ericka describes collaboration as central: clients set goals and test changes in small, concrete ways. Her approach aims to reduce angry outbursts, improve communication, and create clearer choices for daily life. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her practice in Florida.
How Ericka uses therapy approaches online
Ericka works with Client-Centered Therapy to understand a person's experience and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the concerns the client brings, which can help when anger feels tied to identity or family roles.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions keep anger patterns going. CBT involves practical exercises and experiments to test new reactions in daily life, useful for workplace frustration or repeated arguments at home.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick techniques and adapt them over time so the work fits the client’s needs and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time. The focus remains on applying skills between sessions and testing small changes in everyday situations rather than promising a specific outcome.
