Options for online care

Erika provides remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that fits their needs. Each communication option is used to support ongoing therapeutic work, whether through scheduled conversations or message-based check-ins between sessions.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness strategies. For those processing traumatic memories, she may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing alongside mindfulness and somatic techniques to address both cognitive and bodily responses to stress.

Work is collaborative, pairing the clinician's methods with the client's goals to shape session focus and skill practice. Clients who prefer concrete tools, trauma-processing approaches, or a combination of skills and body-focused work can discuss which methods best match their priorities during an initial conversation.
