Approaches that guide online sessions
Erica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present.She approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client look at goals, symptoms, and personal preferences to decide which techniques to try first. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach stays aligned with what helps most.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Text and live chat support brief check-ins or added coaching between longer sessions. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while managing work, family, or travel schedules.
