About Erica
Erica Martin is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, intimacy-related struggles, coping with life changes, and family matters. Erica works with adults who want clear, practical help with these issues.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and try new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach and is used to address thoughts and behaviors that affect mood and relationships.
People come to her for help after a separation, during adoption or foster transitions, when navigating blended family issues, or when old family patterns create stress. She also supports work on attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. Erica aims to break problems down into manageable steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her work includes addressing feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, and isolation. She provides practical skills for handling infidelity, commitment worries, and caregiver stress. Sessions include talking through problems, setting small goals, and practicing new responses between meetings.
Erica asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. She conducts work in English for people located in Florida and does not take international clients.
How CBT and short-term work translate to online sessions
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical way to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and issues that come from trauma or repeated interaction styles. Sessions typically include talking through recent situations, trying brief experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings.Choosing an approach usually happens together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and decide whether to focus on CBT techniques or another direction. That collaborative step helps match methods to the problem rather than assuming a single plan from the start.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue work across life changes and seasons without repeating intake steps, while still focusing on concrete skills for relationship stress, blended household challenges, and coping after trauma.
