How her approaches guide online work
Erika often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. CBT looks at everyday thoughts and habits, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erika will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a persons needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adapts strategies over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
