About Erika
Erika Posey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and codependency issues. She writes plainly and listens carefully, so parents and individuals can talk about what feels overwhelming. Her approach is easy to follow and focused on practical next steps that fit daily life.
Erika draws on a clinical master’s in social work and seven years of experience in the field. She has worked with people across the lifespan, from newborns and toddlers up through older adults, and has a background in maternal infant mental health that supports parents strengthening bonds with young children. She uses common therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior techniques to address anxiety, mood shifts, trauma, and grief.
Her style is client-centered and strengths-based. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her and on building skills that can be used between sessions. She also incorporates attachment-informed ideas to help with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Erika often uses motivational interviewing and self-esteem building exercises to help people find motivation and make practical changes. She aims to be an advocate for clients as they work through family conflict, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and life transitions.
People who choose Erika can expect a calm, down-to-earth interaction and clear, simple tools to practice outside sessions. If your main worries include parenting challenges, codependency patterns, or coping with change, she offers hands-on support and steady guidance.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect intimacy and trust. It can be useful for those dealing with abandonment, family-of-origin issues, or ongoing relationship conflict.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, giving space to talk and be heard while the therapist reflects and supports decisions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and finding motivation for change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments or behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adapts tools and homework tasks to what a person can realistically try between sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce the need to travel, and let people work from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can still use the same CBT, DBT, and attachment-based tools effectively through remote sessions, while tailoring exercises to each person's daily life.
