Dr. Erika Drayton, MD, LCSW-C

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Remote Therapy Options

Dr. Drayton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs described by clients. She offers skills-focused work for stress and anxiety that teaches practical coping strategies and emotional regulation methods to manage day-to-day distress. She also applies trauma-informed approaches when addressing trauma and abuse, creating a paced and respectful process to explore difficult experiences and their impacts. In addition, Dr. Drayton provides family-centered interventions that focus on relationship patterns, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and parenting challenges to improve communication and family functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Drayton collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She works together with clients to set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Drayton is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located within her service area, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the therapeutic process.
