More about Erika

  • 8 years' experience

  • LCSW

I am a Clinical Social Worker and have worked in the counseling field for 5 years. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2011 and graduated with a master’s degree in social work in 2015 and am currently working on my doctorate in Social Work. I have met the national and New Mexico state requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Substance Abuse Associate. My work history includes working with those incarcerated, abused, and neglected children and those with disabilities in the educational field. I also currently work with people suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment issues. I focus on the person-centered, strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, and systems theory, however, each client is approached based on their individual needs and desires for therapy.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
