How Erica’s approaches translate to online work
Erica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and changing unhelpful behaviors to improve mood and functioning, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and some eating concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take actions that matter, useful for low motivation, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, helpful for anger, impulsive behaviors, and distress tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit your situation. The selection is collaborative and can be adjusted as you try different tools and notice what helps.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT exercises to an online setting so practical skills are still taught and practiced.
