About Erica
Erica Rosenthal is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She has 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate life changes. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on small steps that add up to real change.
She combines several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Erica uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Erica values a collaborative relationship. Sessions involve back-and-forth discussion, clear goals, and concrete tools to practice between meetings. She aims to support motivation, boost self-esteem, and reduce symptoms of depression, trauma reactions, and compulsive behaviors.
Her work addresses many concerns beyond anxiety - including addiction, grief, body image, and problems that come from difficult family histories. Erica also helps people dealing with chronic illness, codependency, and career stress. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in on how those tools are working.
Appointments are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on the chosen plan and therapist availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Erica often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when anxiety or fear shows up. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to behaviors that match what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more helpful actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday worries because it gives concrete skills to practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send updates, try shorter check-ins, or continue work between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy days.
