With 12 years of experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she draws on a decade-plus of clinical work to guide people toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. If you’re ready to begin, she invites you to take the next step at a pace that feels right.

How Erica Uses Practical Therapies Online

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions, then practices small changes to improve daily life. CBT is often useful for anxiety, relationship patterns, trauma responses, and problems with shame or guilt.

She focuses on clear goals and collaborative planning. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them over time. Figuring out the right approach is part of the work, and she will help tailor methods to each person’s needs and preferences.
