About Erica
Erica Mau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who feel stuck by focusing on practical change and clearer goals. She speaks plainly, listens without judgment, and works to restore energy, hope, and a sense of purpose. Erica invites clients to notice what matters most and to take small steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Her style is direct and interactive. In sessions she examines habits and beliefs that keep people in cycles of stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem. She supports clients through relationship struggles, grief, and shifts in mood or motivation. Erica emphasizes short- and long-term goals so progress is visible and usable in daily life.
Erica draws on 16 years of experience in private practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry. That background includes work with depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar I and II, and personality disorders. She offers both individual and group counseling skills developed across these settings.
Her approach is integrative and practical. Erica uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match each person’s needs. She helps people learn skills, build clearer values, and change patterns that cause repeated stress.
People who value straightforward feedback and steady skill-building may find her approach useful. Erica encourages collaboration so therapy fits daily life and real-world goals. She works in Oregon and conducts sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication for relationships and intense moods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is incorporated to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Together you decide which methods fit best, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Confirm the therapist's session formats before booking to know which online options are supported. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to keep momentum toward concrete goals without rearranging a full day.
