More about Erica

6 years' experience
Female
LCSW

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges with compassion and expertise. My practice centers on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a deep understanding of multicultural experiences and focus on addressing issues like social anxiety, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

My approach is rooted in creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their unique experiences. I'm particularly passionate about working with young adults, addressing workplace challenges, and supporting individuals through transitions, discrimination, and personal healing journeys.

I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach that honors each individual's strengths and lived experiences. My goal is to collaborate with clients, helping them develop meaningful strategies for self-understanding, emotional resilience, and personal empowerment.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
