About Erica
Erica Follick is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings eight years of counseling experience and combines practical talk with steady support. Erica aims to make conversations feel respectful, direct, and focused on real-life changes.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. She also supports those facing relationship challenges, parenting strains, career transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, issues with eating and sleeping, intimacy questions, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Erica uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where people can set their own goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests new ways of responding. In sessions she mixes listening, practical skills, and problem-solving tailored to each person.
Her style is warm and interactive, with straightforward conversation and concrete tools. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with each person’s strengths to build coping strategies and small, achievable steps forward. Erica supports people through life transitions, relationship shifts, and high-stress periods.
She also offers coaching-style conversations when someone wants clear guidance for next steps. The first sessions typically focus on what matters most right now and on building a plan that feels doable.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In this approach the therapist follows the person’s lead, helps them name their priorities, and supports their own problem-solving. It can be useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, and self-esteem work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include simple experiments, behavior changes, and skill practice to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which adapts well to remote sessions.
Erica treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from client-centered work and CBT to fit those needs. That planning happens together so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel are a barrier. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good choice for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, between-session support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and forward movement.
