About Erica
Erica Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on supporting parents facing stress and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable for people juggling work, home, and the demands of raising children. Erica centers conversations on what matters most to each person.
She listens without judgment and helps clients set practical goals they can try between sessions. Progress is measured in small, realistic steps rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from client-centered work and evidence-based strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also uses motivational interviewing to help with addiction-related goals and behavior change. Erica has eight years of professional experience as a Texas LPC and has worked with people managing grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, and first responder concerns.
She also supports people dealing with hoarding, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sessions can cover practical parenting strategies, ways to manage stress, and tools to improve communication and coping skills. She encourages a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the plan.
People who choose Erica can expect straightforward talk, clear goals, and options that fit a busy life. She offers multiple remote session formats to make regular appointments easier to keep.

How Erica Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and following the client's lead. It helps people clarify values, set personal goals, and feel heard during stressful parenting seasons. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be useful when parenting feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica will talk with each person about their goals, what has worked before, and what feels realistic for their life. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy schedule. Video lets people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when hands-free conversation helps. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options let parents keep continuity of care while juggling appointments, work, and family commitments.
