Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Erika often integrates Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical steps and existing strengths to create measurable change, which is useful for clients seeking concrete progress on specific problems. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values, helping people move toward meaningful action even when discomfort is present. CBT focuses on recognizing and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erika works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time, combining approaches when appropriate so therapy fits the person rather than forcing the person to fit a single model.

Online therapy with Erika is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from different locations when available.
