Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care
Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person she works with. She employs trauma-informed approaches that help clients process painful experiences and reduce symptoms associated with trauma and abuse, focusing on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing. She also draws on skills-based interventions that teach practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and challenges with self-esteem - these strategies emphasize concrete coping skills and behavioral changes that can be practiced between sessions. In addition, she integrates a coaching-oriented perspective when appropriate to support motivation, goal-setting, and sustained personal growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erika works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels personally relevant and effective.
