About Erika
Erika Roberts draws on 13 years of work in mental health to help people find steady ground. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW who has worked extensively with people facing homelessness, serious mental health challenges, and marginalized communities. Erika keeps sessions practical and direct so parents can quickly see whether her approach fits their needs.
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addiction, bipolar mood struggles, ADHD, and grief.
Background and approach
Erika has experience with the LGBTQIA+ community and with people on the autism spectrum, and she adapts her work to each person’s situation. In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior work. She blends these with attachment-aware listening and mindfulness techniques.
That mix helps people regulate strong emotions, change unhelpful thoughts, and build clearer patterns in relationships. Erika aims for sessions that are both compassionate and challenging. Many clients leave with a few practical tools to try between meetings, or simply the relief of being heard.
She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes, and sets small, doable goals with each person. Erika practices from Texas and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns with caregivers shape current relationships. It helps people notice attachment patterns and practice more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and views; the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and gives concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and personal preferences. Then she and the client will try methods that match those needs and adjust them as progress is made. This keeps therapy collaborative and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions and get brief support when it suits their schedule. These options give more ways to keep up steady work toward goals.
