Online sessions and therapeutic style
Erica works remotely using a combination of approaches chosen to match each person’s needs. Through a client-centered framework she focuses on creating an accepting atmosphere in which the individual directs the pace and focus of work. This style supports exploration of personal meaning, relationships, and emotional responses.She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns in thinking and behaviour and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety or disrupted sleep. Attachment-based ideas are used alongside these tools when relationship patterns and early bonds are relevant, helping to map how those patterns show up in current life.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose the format that feels most comfortable. Erica frames therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which combination of approaches and communication methods best suits the person seeking support.
