About Erica
Erica Mau is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oregon with 16 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, trauma, addictions, parenting, and blended family issues. Erica works with adults who are looking to change habits, improve relationships, or manage overwhelming stress.
Her style is direct and interactive. Sessions often involve looking at old beliefs and habits that keep people stuck. She mixes practical skill-building with conversations about values and goals so people can make concrete changes.
Erica has worked in private practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry. That experience informs how she structures sessions and responds in moments of crisis or strong emotion. She has spent much of her career supporting people with mood disorders and personality-related concerns.
Therapeutic tools come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered approaches. Erica uses mindfulness and problem-solving techniques to help people manage symptoms and build routines that fit daily life.
People who seek her help often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from persistent worry and low self-esteem. Erica encourages practical steps toward goals, and she works with each person to set priorities they can act on between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills for changing them, useful for mood disorders, sleep, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings and improving communication. Erica treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adapting techniques over time is part of the plan so the work stays relevant to daily life. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce time spent traveling, and let people join from different locations or time zones. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, skill-practice, guided exercises, and homework to help clients apply what they learn between appointments.Areas of expertise
