How her therapeutic approaches are used online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how patterns of relating affect current problems. It helps people notice connection styles and try different ways of relating to partners, parents, or close others. This can be useful for intimacy problems, family of origin concerns, and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful options. It’s practical for anxiety, stress, body image concerns, and managing mood changes by using short exercises and step-by-step plans.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is reviewed and new challenges emerge.
