About Erika

Erika Posey is a licensed master social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals who are coping with grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, or big life changes. Her style is approachable and strength-based, and she emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions.

Erika holds a clinical master’s in social work and has seven years of experience in the field. She has experience supporting people across the lifespan, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults. She also has background in maternal-infant mental health and supports parents working to strengthen relationships with young children.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and emotionally-focused techniques. That blend shapes a focus on everyday thoughts and habits alongside relationship dynamics and coping skills. Erika also uses motivational interviewing and self-esteem building tools when helpful.

Clients can expect a calm, easy-going presence that highlights their strengths. Erika aims to help people build skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, and navigate parenting or family challenges. She frames progress as a series of small, practical steps people can use in daily life.

Erika practices in Michigan and works with people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT concerns and a range of mood and behavioral issues. She supports international clients as needed and encourages anyone interested to learn more about how her approach could fit their needs.

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.
