More about Erika
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 3 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and substance abuse counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, parenting problems, career challenges, and self-love. I also helped many people who have experienced relationship issues and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and compassionate, as well as challenging and interactive. My client's receive sincerity and genuineness in my approach, which combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and rational-emotive counseling. Most importantly your needs and goals are tailored into the work that we will be completing.
Making a choice to receive counseling and work through the issues that have arisen in your life is the first step. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to provide you with support and empowerment.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
