Online support

How Erika’s approaches translate to online care

Erika often uses client-centered work, which means she follows what the person brings to sessions and tailors guidance to their priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps the work focused on practical concerns like parenting stress or daily anxiety.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with clearer thinking and small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and routines that lead to addictive behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another tool she brings in to teach concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Erika collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusts the plan over time, and checks in about what is helping. Clients help set goals and choose techniques that fit their life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be a good shorter check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
