About Erica
Erica Follick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, career decisions, and mood concerns like anxiety and depression. Erica offers practical support and coaching when life changes feel overwhelming.
Erica keeps sessions grounded and conversational. She centers the person rather than labels and uses straightforward tools to tackle day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps forward. Her approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions pay attention to how someone experiences events while also identifying thoughts and behaviors to change.
This mix is often used for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and coping through grief or trauma. Erica also works with intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She brings a calm, respectful manner to coaching around career transitions and parenting challenges, helping people sort priorities and build routines that fit their lives.
People who choose Erica can expect direct conversation, practical strategies, and a focus on real-life results. Her style aims to create a collaborative space where goals are clear and progress is tracked over time.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's concerns. This approach is helpful when someone needs empathy, validation, and a place to sort through feelings and goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include setting small experiments, practicing new skills between meetings, and tracking progress over time. This method is commonly used for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or distances make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a better fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, ongoing support between meetings or for brief coaching moments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
