About Erica
Erica Mau is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She works with people who feel stuck, worn down, or overwhelmed by relationships, parenting demands, or life transitions and wants practical ways to change.
Her style is direct and interactive. Sessions focus on identifying old habits and beliefs that keep problems running on repeat. She uses clear tools and skills so people can test new behaviors between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Erica has worked in private practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry. That mix gives her experience with mood disorders, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and personality concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, caregiving stress, and trauma-related issues.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means sessions can include values work, skills training, emotion-focused conversations, and practical behavior plans.
People often come with relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, or trouble managing frustration and anger. Erica works with those topics alongside concerns like sleep, eating, career shifts, and ADHD. She speaks English and sees clients in Oregon while also accepting international clients through the platform.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when emotions are uncomfortable. Online sessions can include values exercises and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like structured practice, homework assignments, and skill rehearsals that fit into daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or emotion-focused work, and they adjust as progress unfolds.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session that avoids travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, like managing anger around family or at work. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between sessions and to focus on practical steps for change.
