Approaches that guide online work and progress
Erica describes her work as person-centered and strength-based. A person-centered approach means the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on what matters most to that person. This style helps when someone wants support that respects their values and pace.A strength-based approach highlights existing skills and resources. Sessions often identify what already works in a person’s life and build on those strengths to handle problems like anxiety, addiction, or money and financial issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will collaborate with each client to choose or adapt techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set practical goals and track progress over time so adjustments can be made when needed.
