Ericka Ferrias , LPC

Ericka Ferrias, LPC, supports people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, trauma, or the weight of everyday stress. She guides clients toward identifying the root causes that keep them from moving forward and works alongside them to develop new thinking patterns, healthier behavioral responses, and practical coping strategies for difficult moments.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration - clients remain in the driver’s seat while receiving steady, compassionate support. By combining exploration of underlying issues with concrete tools for managing distress, she helps clients build momentum and regain a sense of control over daily life. Ericka frames progress as a stepwise process, focusing on sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.

Ericka carries the LPC credential. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a designation that indicates professional training and state licensure to provide counseling services. She brings a calm, goal-focused style to sessions and aims to help each person clarify what matters most to them and move forward in alignment with those values.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Ericka draws from several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to value-driven actions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, then practice concrete skills to shift those patterns and improve daily functioning. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping them explore feelings and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Ericka works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support or check-ins can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
