Online Therapy and Targeted Clinical Approaches
Erika often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online work, tailoring each approach to the person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing a meaningful life path - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve concentration. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers specific tools to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences and can support recovery from abuse and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erika, as a licensed professional, will work with each person to determine which strategies fit best with their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access supportive therapy from home, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable while working toward emotional well-being.
