More about Erika
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a School Counselor in the state of New Jersey. I have 8 years of experience working with under-served and at-risk youth, I have worked with individuals, families, and children. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, learning/intellectual disabilities, life adjustments, homelessness, lack of resources, and emotional and social issues.
My approach to therapy is warm and supportive while using collaborative, cognitive-based, and solution-focused interventions. I believe in working with clients to offer support and assistance, all while building a strong rapport and working relationship between counselor and client.
Therapy can seem overwhelming but I am here to support you through the process and together we can work to get you where you want to be! We are all on our own journey and I would be honored to be a part of yours.

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.
