Erika builds a calm space for talking through concerns without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of her, with practical steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She adapts her pace to each person's needs and circumstances. Her work brings together client-centred listening with problem-focused and cognitive approaches. That means Erika listens closely to what you want, helps set short-term goals and looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect daily life.
The aim is to make small, useful changes that add up over time. Erika has seven years of professional experience with issues such as miscarriage, intimacy-related worries, career stress and the particular strains faced by first responders. She also offers support around hospice and end-of-life matters, forgiveness and building self-love.
Sessions are offered in English and German and delivered online by phone, video, live chat or text messaging. The first steps are simple: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that fits your schedule.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist offers empathy and space to speak, helping you feel heard and to identify what you want to change. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while they sort through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often useful for stress, panic and ongoing worry.
Solution-Focused Therapy is goal oriented and short term. Sessions concentrate on what is already working, and build small steps toward clear goals. This approach helps when someone wants practical strategies and a quicker way to move past a specific problem.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose the best fit based on needs, goals and personal preference. Together they will check what works and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you speak face to face; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can provide brief check-ins, quick follow-ups and easier scheduling across busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around school runs, shifts and work commitments.
