Evidence-Based Approaches Offered Through Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and the ways early bonds influence current emotional responses. It can help people address attachment issues, parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, and relational distress by exploring how connection and trust develop and how they can be strengthened.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges. It emphasizes practical skills and coping strategies that clients can apply to day-to-day situations to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and building more stable responses to stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erika will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation. Together they will adjust strategies over time to find what works best.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, allows continuity of care across distances, and can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options support access to licensed professionals and enable consistent work on goals from many locations and life circumstances.
