About Erica
Erica Holtz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of practice who helps people facing anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions. She approaches hard problems with straightforward support and practical steps. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she uses honesty and occasional humor to help clients feel more at ease.
Erica centers her work on how relationships shape current problems. She looks at patterns between people and how those patterns keep pain going.
Background and approach
That perspective guides work with couples, individuals, and parents trying to change repeating dynamics. Sessions focus on identifying what keeps problems active and trying small changes to shift those patterns. She listens for attachment needs and emotional blocks, and helps people name feelings and communicate differently.
Practical skills and clearer communication are common goals. Erica has a history of supervising and training newer therapists and draws on that experience in assessment and treatment planning. She also has experience supporting people with trauma histories, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.
Her background includes work with clients facing grief, identity questions, and compulsive behaviors. People who come to Erica can expect a collaborative approach. She works to create real change rather than only talking about problems.
Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on steps that help daily life.
How relational approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance, name emotional needs, and practice new ways of connecting with partners or others.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects feelings, and supports people as they find their own solutions to stress, identity concerns, or life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and interact differently in relationships. It is often used for couples work and for individuals wanting clearer emotional expression and safety in connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. This is a shared process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels helpful. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
