Erika Roberts, LCSW

Erika Roberts, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings 13 years of experience in mental health to her therapeutic work. She has spent much of her career supporting people who are experiencing homelessness, working with young people, and assisting individuals facing severe mental health challenges. Her background gives her experience in helping clients navigate complex and overlapping concerns.

She works with a broad range of issues, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem, and sleep and eating concerns. She is comfortable working with people on the autism spectrum and with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Her practice also attends to areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and communication or attachment issues.

Erika approaches therapy with compassion, respect, and practical focus. She draws on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer tools clients can use between sessions, whether that means new coping strategies or simply the relief of being heard. Her style is supportive yet appropriately challenging, informed by both professional training and personal experience. She aims to help people work toward their goals, enrich their daily lives, and build skills for ongoing growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Erika Roberts

Erika integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming and relationships are strained. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping, and it supports work on attachment issues, family dynamics, and related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erika collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit schedules and locations. This range of options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and find formats that feel most comfortable for the client while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
