About Erica

LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with eight years of experience. Erica Follick focuses on relationship and parenting concerns as well as anxiety, depression, stress, career challenges, grief, trauma, and related issues. She works from client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches and uses coaching skills to address practical goals.

Erica keeps sessions direct and conversational. She helps people talk through relationship difficulties, parenting strain, work stress, and life transitions. She uses client-centered methods to prioritize what a person brings to the room and CBT techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress.

Her background combines counseling and life coaching practice over eight years. That experience includes supporting people with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar and mood difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She also works with LGBT and family-related concerns as individual issues brought into therapy.

In sessions she identifies concrete goals and works on steps toward those goals. Conversations can include skill practice, thought reframing, problem-solving, and planning for changes outside of sessions. The style is interactive rather than didactic, with attention to what each person hopes to accomplish.

Erica asks clients to be part of deciding the focus and pace of work. She uses coaching tools when people want practical action plans and CBT techniques when patterns of thought or behavior are the main problem. This combination aims to make sessions both reflective and action-oriented.

How Erica applies client-centered and CBT approaches online

Erica uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's concerns and priorities, offering space for the client's perspective to guide sessions. This approach helps when someone wants to clarify values, talk through relationship or parenting questions, or decide on next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try specific changes in thinking and behavior. CBT is often practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for managing stress with concrete tools and experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may blend client-centered conversation with CBT exercises or coaching techniques depending on what is needed.
