About Erika
Erika Posey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who primarily helps people concerned about stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship challenges. She is listed with a focus on Men's wellbeing and supports people working through grief, trauma, addiction struggles, and self-esteem issues. Erika takes a down-to-earth approach and aims to make first steps feel manageable.
Erika holds a clinical master’s degree in social work and has seven years of professional experience. She has supported people across the life span, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults, and has practiced in Michigan. Her background includes work in maternal-infant mental health to strengthen early parent-child relationships.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods that start with what matters to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotional regulation and coping skills. These are used alongside attachment-focused ideas when relationship patterns and early connections are relevant.
Erika describes her style as easy-going with a strength-based outlook. She uses motivational interviewing and practical self-esteem building exercises to help people take steps they can manage. Her work often focuses on everyday changes - improving communication, managing anger, navigating family-of-origin issues, and coping with life transitions.
People who want a collaborative, practical approach may find her helpful. She accepts international clients and offers sessions through the site's scheduling and matching process. Confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Erika uses client-centered therapy by listening first and letting the person's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on empathy, respect, and helping people find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem and life transitions.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts methods as needs change during treatment.
