Background and approach
That perspective highlights how interaction cycles keep problems going and where small changes can shift those patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Erica uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns; this helps people see why certain interactions trigger strong reactions and where connection can be rebuilt. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's pace to identify goals and next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used with couples and individuals to name core emotions and repair ruptures in attachment bonds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most in your day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, real-time support or ongoing checkpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue momentum between meetings.
