Her background includes four years as a Tennessee LCSW, during which she has worked with people from varied backgrounds. She pays attention to how family history, attachment, and past losses affect current relationships and behavior. Erica also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness or pain, and codependency. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice different ways of responding in daily life.

People who are juggling caregiving responsibilities often find this practical focus helpful.

Evidence-based methods and online therapy options

Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. Two common approaches she draws on are skills-based work and trauma-focused care. Skills-based work teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling stress in daily life. Trauma-focused care helps people understand how past hurt affects current feelings and relationships and supports steps toward healing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erica talks with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and together they choose techniques that fit. This collaborative planning means the work can shift as goals change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and offer a way to connect when leaving home is difficult. Different ways of meeting can also shape the session length and style - for example, shorter check-ins or phone conversations can be useful when time or bandwidth is limited. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
