About Ericka
Ericka L. Ferrias, LPC offers steady, practical help for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or the fallout from trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and get life moving again.

Background and approach
Her approach combines elements of acceptance and commitment work, cognitive tools, and mindfulness. That means clients learn to notice difficult thoughts without getting swept away and to choose actions that match their values. Sessions also include motivational interviewing techniques to clarify goals and support change.

Those include anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to identity and culture. Ericka offers counseling through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
She guides clients through setting practical goals, building coping skills, and creating routines that fit real life. Work with her is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ericka integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building actions that match those values while accepting difficult feelings. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to change mood and functioning.She treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. During the first sessions she will talk through goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the therapist and client pick strategies that fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes counseling easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth choice. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing tools between sessions, and keeping momentum on goal work.
