About Ericka

Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the ripple effects of major life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to offer practical strategies for coping with addictions, anger, relationship conflicts, and career concerns, while also addressing issues such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and bipolar mood challenges.

Her style centers on respect for each person’s story, aiming to create a space where clients can move past guilt, shame, and isolation toward clearer goals. She integrates evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support growth and problem solving.

Ericka often works with clients navigating family difficulties, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and communication or control issues. Across her practice she attends to systemic and emotional factors, including prejudice and discrimination, fatherhood and parenting concerns, and disruptive mood dysregulation presentations.

Her background and therapeutic orientation emphasize collaboration, practical skill-building, and short-term goal focus when appropriate, helping clients build resilience and pursue meaningful change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Ericka uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning through structured skill practice. She also employs client-centered principles that prioritize empathic listening and collaborative goal setting, creating space for clients to explore values and personal strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges with each person and adapt strategies over time so the plan fits the client's needs and pace in a collaborative manner.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity during life transitions, and apply strategies between sessions while working with a licensed professional who guides skill-building and problem solving.
