About Erica

Erica Kesse offers a calm, encouraging presence for people ready to trade constant striving for simply being. She calls this practice "Be Me" Time - a deliberate pause for self-nurture that supports stillness, honest feeling, and the courage to sit with pain rather than avoid it. In her work she encourages clients to explore internal and external resources, to recognize their worth, and to imagine a life in which they celebrate themselves first rather than relying on others for validation.

As an integrative therapist and business coach working in what she calls Escape and Execution, Erica looks at the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and professional elements - and helps bring those areas into balance. Her approach centers on person-centered principles while drawing on a range of techniques tailored to each individual. She is specialized in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods, person- and child-centered play, and expressive arts therapy. Erica holds the credential LPC-MHSP, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider, and she aims to help people build social supports and practical accountability so they can become the strongest, most compassionate versions of themselves.

Collaborative therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the work and emphasizes empathy, genuine acceptance, and active listening. This approach helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace, making it useful for identity questions, relationship concerns, and emotional healing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to shift them. CBT is often applied to issues like anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by teaching concrete strategies for managing symptoms and changing responses.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation to change. It can be especially helpful when someone is facing life transitions, career decisions, or steps toward healthier routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Erica Kesse works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people fit care into busy schedules, bridge geographic distances, and continue work during life changes. These options also allow different communication styles to be honored, so therapy can feel accessible and manageable while supporting steady progress.
