About Erika
Erika uses straightforward conversation to sort out what matters most in a person's life. Sessions focus on clear steps, practical thinking, and building day-to-day coping skills. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and validate each person's perspective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goal setting for people who want change without a long wait.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She helps people set small, manageable goals and track progress between sessions. Conversations tend to be action-oriented and aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
Erika works with adults wrestling with life purpose and career doubts as well as parenting strain and issues linked to adoption and foster care. Sessions are conducted in English and based in New York. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Erika works with Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on the person's own perspective. That means the clinician listens closely and reflects back what matters most so decisions become clearer.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that reinforce worry and low mood. CBT tools often include practical exercises and planning small behavior changes between sessions to test what helps.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used for people who want targeted work on the next steps. It emphasizes short-term goals and concrete actions that can be reviewed quickly in session.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. The client and therapist decide together which mix of approaches fits best.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets busy. Some formats also let sessions be shorter when needed or avoid video if bandwidth is limited. Ask about current session options when scheduling to find what will fit into everyday life.
