About Erica
Erica Follick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety while helping people navigate relationship and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and conversational, aimed at making therapy feel approachable and useful from the first session.
Erica draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people spot patterns in thinking and try different, more helpful behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's goals rather than following a fixed script. With eight years of professional experience, Erica has worked with a broad range of challenges such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with career shifts and intimacy-related issues.
She describes her role as supportive and collaborative rather than directive. In sessions she focuses on clear, concrete steps alongside listening and reflection. That might mean trying a new coping skill, testing how a different thought pattern feels, or planning a small behavior change between sessions.
The emphasis is on what helps in daily life. Erica invites people who are ready to make changes to try a conversational and practical approach. She aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions while honoring their pace and values.
How Erica Uses Talk Therapy Online
Erica works mainly with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and building a respectful space where people can speak freely and set their own goals. It helps when someone needs support to understand feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica will listen to your goals, try a few strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. The work is shared - you try changes between sessions and review what works together.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief check-ins, homework planning, or shorter conversations during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or life changes while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
