About Erica
Erica Martin is a Florida LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, and family matters. Erica also addresses guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving and life transitions.
Her sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. Discussions are direct and concrete, with attention to how beliefs and actions affect daily life.
Erica often helps people untangle problems that come from family of origin, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care histories, and divorce. She also works with issues like commitment worries, infidelity, codependency, and communication breakdowns. Body image and isolation or loneliness are common topics she addresses in therapy.
She encourages people to name their guilt and shame, look at how those feelings influence choices, and experiment with small changes that shift interactions and thinking. Sessions tend to include skill practice and homework that connect to real situations outside the room.
Erica treats each person as an individual and focuses on practical ways to manage stressors and relationships. She asks questions, listens for patterns, and helps plan next steps someone can try between sessions.
CBT and practical approaches for online sessions
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. CBT helps with worries about relationships, persistent guilt and shame, anxiety after trauma, and habits that keep problems going.She pairs that approach with straightforward conversation about patterns that come from family history, adoption or caregiving roles. That looks like identifying repeating behaviors, trying brief experiments between sessions, and checking what changed. Deciding which approach to try is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then adjust as they learn what helps.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a regular week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to meet from different places at different times.
