Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Erika commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR into her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for mood challenges and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that assists people in reprocessing distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact.



Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Erika works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors a plan that may combine techniques from different methods so the approach fits the individual’s situation.



Online therapy with Erika is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions, continue work through life transitions, and maintain consistent progress without the constraints of travel or limited local availability. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communications to work effectively across these formats, helping clients move toward their goals on a schedule that fits their life.
