About Erica
Erica Rosenthal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She has 15 years of experience and offers a straightforward, practical approach for people seeking change. Erica keeps sessions focused and collaborative.
She listens to what matters most and helps clients set realistic goals. Conversations are intended to be direct and useful, with tools and skills to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several well-known methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-based thinking to help clients understand patterns and try new ways of relating. The goal is to combine skills practice with reflection so people can make steady progress.
Erica has particular experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and body-image concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and life transitions like separation or career change. Her background includes substance-use work alongside mental health practice.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Erica typically works morning and mid-afternoon hours and does not hold weekend or evening appointments. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits both schedules.

Approach and online options for working together
Erica commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and change patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to actions that match what matters most.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person and the issue. Progress is reviewed and strategies are adjusted based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer working time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent despite busy lives.
