  • Attachment-based work
  • Mindfulness and DBT skills

About Erika

Erika Judkins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related concerns such as relationship strain, grief, and parenting stress. Erika also helps people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, body image and self-esteem issues, and career or life transitions.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and client-centered listening to keep the work focused on a person’s goals.

Sessions emphasize skill-building and concrete tools. Erika teaches coping strategies drawn from DBT and mindfulness when they fit the situation. The aim is to reduce reactive responses, improve communication, and increase daily functioning rather than to promise quick fixes.

Erika often frames problems in plain terms - what is happening now, what keeps it going, and what small steps could change it. She describes strengths people already have and shows how to use those skills more deliberately.

People interested in starting work are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and services use a cancelable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify patterns in closeness, trust, and conflict and teach new ways to relate that reduce angry responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions Erika can help a person track triggers, test alternative thoughts, and practice behavioral experiments between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will discuss goals and preferences, then collaborate on which methods to use. She checks in as the work progresses and adjusts techniques so they fit the client’s needs and everyday life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy fit around work and family demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it easier to bring specific problems from daily life into a session for immediate discussion and practice.
