Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering hands-on strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. Together these approaches provide both symptom-focused skills and values-guided work to address a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with each person to explore which methods match their goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of techniques as progress unfolds so that therapy stays relevant and client-centered.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access, with sessions available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
