About Erika
Erika Posey is a Michigan-registered LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling relationship stress, parenting demands, blended household challenges, anxiety, depression, and grief. Erika often sees people dealing with life transitions, trauma, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
Erika uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior tools to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones and emotionally-focused methods to improve connection in relationships.
Her background includes work across the lifespan, supporting new parents through maternal-infant mental health concerns as well as older adults. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues. Erika emphasizes strengths and practical skills people can try between sessions.
Sessions are discussion-based and skill-focused. Clients can expect to talk through immediate problems, practice new ways of handling conflict, and build routines that reduce stress. The therapist encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Erika works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Erika uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and routines that affect family life.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape responses now. That approach can be useful for people dealing with loyalty conflicts, stepfamily roles, and parenting strain. Emotionally-focused methods are used when the work centers on improving connection and managing emotional reactions in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She frames the process as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on what helps most in practice.
