Erica Ortiz-Pellicer

Erica Ortiz-Pellicer is a Florida LMHC with five years of clinical experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish. Erica works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, parenting strain, stress, and life changes. She helps clients talk through what feels overwhelming right now. Sessions often focus on practical steps for managing daily stress and building more confidence. Erica also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, chronic illness or pain, and challenges that come from adoption, foster care, or blended family situations. Her background includes work across the lifespan, and she is comfortable speaking with parents and adults about their concerns. She pays attention to family of origin issues, control and impulse struggles, and cultural factors that shape how someone copes. Life purpose and midlife questions are part of her focus when people feel uncertain about what comes next. Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She aims to break down problems into manageable pieces and practice skills between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to small steps that fit into everyday life. People who connect with Erica are often looking for help with real, immediate problems - reducing anxiety, coping with change, or improving how they relate to others. She works in both English and Spanish to make space for cultural and language needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear strategies and skill-building. One common approach is short-term, skills-based work that teaches practical ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach centers on problem-solving and behavioral changes to address low mood, motivation, and routines that get disrupted during life transitions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Erica collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as needed. That means trying methods, checking how they fit, and shifting course when something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from wherever they are located in Florida. Therapists often use online sessions to maintain continuity through life changes and to reduce travel time, but check the available formats when you choose a scheduling option.
