About Erica

Erica Martin is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, intimacy issues, and family-related stresses. Erica focuses on clear conversations about what is happening at home and what feels hard right now.

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She breaks these patterns into manageable steps so clients can try changes between sessions. Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect to talk through specific situations, test new ways of reacting, and review what worked.

Her areas of interest include abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and the stresses of caregiving. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, infidelity, divorce and separation, and feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, or loneliness. Erica helps people sort how past family relationships affect present ones.

Erica describes therapy as collaborative work. She invites clients to set priorities, try new skills, and reflect on what helps. Progress is often steady when small behavioral changes are practiced between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and based in Florida. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the service's online flow.

How sessions work

How CBT can work for relationship and family concerns online

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which aims to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more constructive ones. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and problems that stem from past hurt or stress. It breaks larger issues into small, practical steps that people can try between sessions.

Working out the right approach is collaborative. Erica will listen to what matters most to the client, discuss options, and adjust methods as goals become clearer. Clients and the therapist agree on priorities and experiment with strategies together rather than following a fixed script.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people pick times that work around work or caregiving duties. Ask about the platform and session length when you schedule so the format matches your routine.
