About Ericka
Ericka Ferrias, LPC, uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and the everyday weight of stress. Sessions aim to uncover root causes and build clearer ways forward while keeping the client in control of choices and pace.
Ericka blends evidence-based methods and talk-based support to change thinking and behavior. She helps people adopt new coping strategies for racing thoughts, low motivation, or repeated unhelpful patterns. The work emphasizes small, doable changes rather than huge overnight shifts.
Her approach includes mindfulness skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. She also uses cognitive strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing techniques support people who feel stuck or uncertain about change.
Over 11 years in practice, Ericka has guided people through grief, relationship and parenting strains, career questions, addiction concerns, and mood challenges including bipolar disorder. She has an interest in men’s issues, multicultural concerns, attachment and abandonment wounds, and coping after disasters or trauma.
Ericka practices in Texas and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to explore coaching-style work alongside therapy can discuss that option during their first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Ericka commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take values-based actions. This approach can help with anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors that produce better results for mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ericka treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help a client test what fits their goals and comfort. Sessions often mix approaches so the plan matches current needs and preferences rather than sticking to one method only.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from appointments. Talk-based tools, guided mindfulness exercises, and behavior-change assignments translate well to remote work, and the therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length during the first meeting.
