Erica Follick

Erica Follick is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings eight years of clinical experience helping people who face mood concerns, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Erica blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to shape conversations and goals. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps clients try small changes that can make a difference. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

Her background includes counseling and coaching roles that supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, career shifts, and issues such as sleep, eating, and anger. She also helps people wrestling with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related stress. Erica uses straightforward tools that map to the problems a person brings in.

Clients can expect a flexible approach where treatment plans are shaped around personal needs and goals. Conversations are tailored to each person’s rhythm, with an emphasis on practical strategies to manage stress and handle conflict. Erica encourages small, achievable steps toward better coping.

She invites people who are ready to make changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. The process aims to make starting therapy simple and focused on the issues a person cares about most.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and support. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear tools and exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is often a team effort. Erica will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. She tailors the plan as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and practical.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer commute hours, or the ability to meet from different locations when schedules change. Talk with the therapist after matching to clarify which session formats are offered and what will work best for day-to-day needs.
