About Erica
Erica Follick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and career shifts. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical skills for day-to-day life.
Erica uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, then practices small changes that can reduce reactivity and improve mood. Work often includes clear strategies for handling anger and frustration, plus problem-solving for relationships and work stress.
Her style is interactive and goal-oriented. Conversations are direct and respectful. Expect to talk through specific situations, try behavioral experiments, and track what helps between sessions.
Erica also supports people coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, sleep or eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and intimacy-related issues. She frames these as workable problems with steps to try rather than labels to keep someone stuck.
Practical coaching is available alongside therapy work for career decisions and life transitions. That can mean setting short-term goals, planning next steps, and checking progress each session. The focus stays on skills you can use outside therapy.
Sessions are offered in English and follow the LMHC scope of practice in New York. If unsure about formats or session logistics, confirm the current options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Erica draws mainly from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps people clarify feelings about relationships, parenting, or life changes. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed mood and reactivity, teaching concrete techniques to manage anger, anxiety, and stress.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then adjust methods as the work goes on. That means some sessions may focus on exploring feelings and values, and others on practicing specific skills or experiments between sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when life gets hectic. Some approaches lend themselves to written exercises and worksheets that are easy to use remotely, while behavioral experiments can be planned to try between meetings. The therapist and client will choose the pace and tools that fit daily life without assuming a particular format.
