How Erica’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people notice how attachment patterns show up in partnerships and caregiving roles, and supports building more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. The therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, which can help when someone is feeling overwhelmed or unsure what to address first. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses between partners and aims to create new ways of connecting. It is often used for couples dealing with intimacy issues, trust ruptures, or repeated conflicts. Finding the right fit is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps set clear goals and checks in about what is or isn’t working as therapy progresses. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and help people schedule shorter check-ins around work or caregiving duties. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered so you know how appointments will be arranged and what to expect.
