About Erica
Erica trained in psychology and counseling, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. Her training included a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy and two years practicing as a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern before licensure.
She uses approaches that include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. In session Erica helps people name patterns of thought and behavior, try small experiments, and build clearer communication skills. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed strategies when those tools fit the concern.
Erica works with many common challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, workplace stress, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Erica avoids telling people what to do and instead helps them reframe negative thinking, set practical goals, and practice new ways of coping. She typically communicates during normal business hours Monday through Friday.

How Erica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Erica commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people feel understood; it helps when someone needs support to explore feelings and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new behaviors and rethink unhelpful thinking patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods as needed, so the plan evolves from collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Many people find online therapy useful for fitting sessions into busy lives, staying consistent during transitions, and reducing travel time. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Practical benefits commonly include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and flexibility to continue therapy during life changes without losing momentum.
