About Erika
Erika Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, and related concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues. She also lists work around parenting, career matters, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and first responder and hospice-related issues.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions are meant to be straightforward. The emphasis is on creating a space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Erika aims to help clients identify small, practical steps they can take between sessions.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and then helps people experiment with new ways of relating, thinking, and coping. She blends problem-focused work for short-term stresses with deeper work for trauma and relationship patterns. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what changes.
Erika brings experience across loss, workplace strain, and high-stress roles. She also supports people dealing with infidelity, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. The focus is on helping individuals strengthen skills for emotion regulation, communication, and decision-making.
Sessions are conducted in English. For international clients, she is not currently accepting them. Before booking, confirm the current session formats she offers so you know which options are available. To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to remote sessions
Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in sessions. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking; these are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused strategies help people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact using paced exposure and grounding skills; these can be helpful for trauma and abuse recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and the problems they want to solve. She tracks progress and adjusts methods if something is not working well.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. Some formats let conversations proceed without video and can be shorter check-ins when people need quick support. Other formats allow fuller, hour-long sessions for deeper work. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
