LCSW

Hello! My name is Erika and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work at Saint Louis University in 2012 and received my clinical license in 2017. I have 3 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, but a total of 10 years in the field of Social Work. My experience includes working with individuals suffering from anxiety and/or depression, self-esteem issues, experiencing stress and those struggling with grief/loss .

My approach is client centered. Meeting the client where they are and building off their strengths, providing tools to cope with issues and provide support as we go. I am attentive and nonjudgmental, yet honest and direct. Therapeutic modalities I typically use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing.

I look forward to talking with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
