About Erika
Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions aim to make space for difficult feelings while building practical skills for everyday life. Erika helps people practice clearer communication and healthier coping habits one step at a time.
Erika uses approaches that emphasize the client's perspective and practical problem solving. She draws on client-centered methods to listen without judgment, cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and motivational interviewing to support change. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable next steps.
With nine years of experience as an LPC in Michigan, she brings both clinical knowledge and a down-to-earth approach. She pays attention to the unique challenges people face around sexuality, women’s issues, and caregiver stress. Erika aims to help clients build resilience and find realistic ways forward.
People who choose Erika can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional safety with action. Therapy sessions focus on real-world changes like improved communication, reduced anxiety, and more reliable coping skills. She encourages clients to set goals that fit their lives and values.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. The therapist creates a supportive space and follows the person's lead to clarify feelings and priorities. This approach can help people who need acceptance and a steady, nonjudgmental presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by exploring values and ambivalence in a collaborative way.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may change as needs evolve during care.
Confirm current session options before booking to see how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different communication rhythms while working on practical skills, mood management, and planning next steps.
