About Erica

Erica Follick is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York who brings a collaborative, skills-focused approach to therapy.

Background and approach

She weaves cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and life transitions including career and parenting changes. Her work also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around eating, sleeping, anger, and self-esteem.

With eight years of professional experience, Erica emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate support rather than stigmatizing labels. She aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s particular circumstances, offering coaching-style guidance when clients want practical tools alongside reflective exploration.

Erica also supports clients navigating LGBT-related concerns and those coping with compassion fatigue. Erica presents therapy as a partnership that begins with listening and moves toward achievable goals.

Her practice accommodates different ways of engaging, including sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and she works with clients to choose approaches that fit their needs and schedules.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Work Online



Erica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to offer focused, practical support in online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and learning concrete strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening, respect, and collaboration so that clients feel understood while they explore values, relationships, and life direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences evolve, so therapy feels personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and make it easier to use practical CBT tools between meetings while still receiving supportive, client-centered care.
