Erica addresses commitment and control issues and supports people recovering from domestic violence and experiences of emptiness.

How evidence-based approaches inform online care
Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work on anxiety, trauma, and relationships. One common approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and breaking problems into manageable steps. These tools are practical and aimed at reducing daily overwhelm.Another area of focus is trauma-informed work that helps people make sense of painful experiences and reduce their hold on current behavior. This work often includes grounding practices, stabilizing routines, and gradual processing of difficult memories at a pace the person can tolerate. These techniques support restoring a sense of safety and control after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what has or hasn't helped before, and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
