Erika Posey is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She focuses on practical steps people can use when anger, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy feel straightforward and useful.
Erika draws on seven years of clinical experience in Michigan. She supports people dealing with depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, addiction, ADHD, and challenges around self-esteem and identity.
Background and approach
She also works with parenting issues and maternal infant mental health to help strengthen bonds between parents and young children. In sessions she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions.
Sessions focus on building skills that can be used between meetings, such as emotion regulation and communication tools. Erika describes her approach as strength-based and easy-going. She often blends practical skill work with space for processing grief, loss, and trauma.
She supports people through career stress, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are offered in English, and international clients are accepted.

Using proven approaches in online care
Erika commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and anger. She pairs that with dialectical behavior therapy skills work to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for tense moments.She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. That work often helps people understand patterns in relationships and build more supported ways of connecting. Choosing the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about goals and try techniques that fit the individual's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful when visual cues and interactive exercises matter, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options work well for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats aim to increase access and make it easier to use the skills learned between sessions.
