She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach coping skills for intense emotion. Erika has nine years of professional experience working in Georgia as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Her work emphasizes steady progress over time and small changes that add up.

She encourages practical routines and exercises clients can try between sessions. People who come to Erika often want straightforward guidance and a calm, respectful listener. She helps clients set manageable goals, practice new skills, and adjust plans as life changes.

04Online support

Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life

Erika commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral methods to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding the client's perspective, and building on personal strengths. It helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches simple tools to identify and change thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood, and it suits people who want concrete steps to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Erika works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay useful and focused on measurable progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make consistent care easier to fit into a busy life. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can work well for short check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can access therapy from different places and at different times while keeping the work practical and goal-directed.
