About Erica
Erica Martin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma, and LGBTQ-related concerns. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space so clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Erica encourages small first steps and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
With 12 years in the field, Erica draws on practical tools to address everyday problems. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to ease emotional distress. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that people can try between meetings.
Erica works with people dealing with intimacy issues, codependency, abandonment, and attachment concerns. She also helps those managing family of origin conflicts, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and the fallout from infidelity. Body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation are other areas she supports.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Erica asks questions, listens closely, and offers exercises tailored to each person’s situation. She pays attention to practical steps clients can take at home to test new ways of relating and coping.
People coming to therapy can expect focused sessions that aim to make everyday life feel more manageable. Before scheduling, she asks about goals and history so sessions can start with a clear plan.
How CBT and collaborative care translate to online therapy
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical strategies to change reactions and behavior, helping with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and codependency concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
