How her approaches shape online work
Erika draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and offering a non-judgemental space so people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erika will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs and goals. She talks through options with you and adapts the focus as your situation changes, aiming for practical steps alongside deeper understanding.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping continuity when travel or schedules are difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Discuss timing, language preference and whether you want brief check-ins or longer sessions when you schedule so the arrangement suits your routine and goals.
