Erika PoseyLMSW

Erika Posey is a licensed master social worker who focuses on helping people through stressful life changes and parenting challenges. She aims to make sessions approachable and useful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and pregnancy- and childbirth-related adjustment. Erika writes clearly and speaks plainly so parents can feel heard and leave with practical steps they can use at home.

She uses a strength-based style that centers the person's goals. Erika blends cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior approaches to teach coping skills and to change patterns that cause distress. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas guide work around relationships and bonding with young children.

Erika trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work, which she uses alongside seven years of clinical experience in Michigan. She has supported people across the lifespan, including newborns, toddlers, teens, adults, and older adults, and has experience with maternal-infant mental health to help parents strengthen connections with young children.

In a session she often helps people identify small, manageable changes. She offers concrete tools for mood, stress, and relationship challenges and practices motivational interviewing and self-esteem building techniques to support lasting change.

People can expect an easy-going, advocacy-minded clinician who focuses on practical next steps. Erika aims to help clients improve daily functioning and build healthier patterns over time.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships and early bonds affect current feelings and responses, helping people improve connection and safety in relationships and parent-child interactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting the person where they are, allowing goals and pacing to come from the client while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to pregnancy and parenting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they’ll try methods that match those needs and adjust as progress or life circumstances change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between appointments. It also supports using worksheets, in-the-moment coaching, and skill practice that translate into parenting and daily routines without promising a particular delivery method.
