Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for treating anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility to respond to painful thoughts and feelings in ways that support meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relational patterns and early connections are a focus, helping clients explore how attachment styles influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and specific concerns. Together they may blend techniques from different models to create a tailored plan and adjust it as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to engage in consistent work from home or another convenient location while maintaining regular contact and ongoing support through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
