You’ve been so helpful in helping me get to know myself better and that’s kind of my goal is to just be able to have some self knowledge and continue to learn so that I can make better decisions for myself as I go through life. The more we talk the more self-aware I become and realize how my decisions affect me and also how they’re affecting others and that I am not the only one that goes through these situations. Also I would like to eventually have in person sessions I love just being able to text you when I am in a mood or when I’m going through something and just need someone that can logically work thought it with me. I really appreciate 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.

Erika has been great! She listens and has great suggestions to help with my insecurities and confidence issues.
Erika has helped me immensely to effect positive changes in my life. She is supportive and kind, and I always leave our sessions with optimism about my mental health future.
I’ll give you $20 if you can find a better therapist than Erika.
I immediately felt comfortable with Erika and she has been a wonderful support system for me. Never have I felt so at ease with a mental healthcare provider.
I’ve only had three sessions with Erika, but she’s been amazing! She has given me many coping strategies and helped me recognize what’s causing much of my anxiety. She’s been helping me figure out how to get over it, not just through it.
Erika has been a breath of fresh air more me. I have never been to any type of therapy in my life. The moment I spoke with her I felt at ease, comfortable, and safe. I have only have had a few sessions, but being able to speak with someone like Erika in a safe and non-judgemental environment has been a godsend. Life is tough, and sometimes it's hard to talk about with your loved ones/friends. Counselors like Erika make working through life's tough situations so much easier. I wish I would have done it sooner!
I have only had a couple of sessions and a few message exchanges, but I do find Erika to be thoughtful and not rushing to a half baked conclusion. I am enjoying the process and she seems to as well.
