About Erica
Erica Bellar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience supporting people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She offers straightforward, practical help so clients can take small steps toward feeling better. Erica works from Colorado and conducts sessions in English.
Erica blends person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral approaches to address concerns like panic, mood shifts, and workplace stress. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term coping strategies, and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She also brings coaching techniques to help people set priorities and track progress toward meaningful changes. Her work often covers life transitions such as divorce or career shifts, and she supports people dealing with chronic illness, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and issues related to aging.
When grief or isolation show up, Erica helps people make sense of emotions and find concrete steps to restore daily routines. Typical sessions include talking through immediate problems, practicing new coping skills, and developing plans tailored to each person’s situation. She adapts pacing and methods to match individual needs and preferences.
Erica offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that fits their schedule. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a match is made. Her overall aim is to help people reduce distress and build practical habits that improve day-to-day functioning.
Erica encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. She works collaboratively to adjust plans as needs evolve.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Erica uses person-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients set their own goals; it helps when someone needs understanding and a place to sort through feelings. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills such as breathing, activity planning, and breaking problems into manageable steps; these skills can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Erica works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She will check in about what is helping and adjust strategies over time so the plan matches needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, between-session support, and easier scheduling on busy days. These options help people access therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
