About Erika
Erika Posey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. She aims to make sessions approachable and practical. Her style is relaxed and strength-focused, so clients often feel heard and understood quickly.
With seven years of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of therapies to match each person’s needs. Erika uses clear, hands-on strategies from cognitive behavioral methods and skills from dialectical behavior approaches.
Background and approach
She also employs attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Erika has worked with a wide age range, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults, and she has particular experience supporting parents with early-childhood bonding and maternal-infant mental health.
She offers guidance on parenting skills, coping with grief and loss, and managing mood and anxiety symptoms. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and real-world tools. Clients can expect concrete exercises, simple skill-building, and conversations about what actually works day to day.
Sessions move at a practical pace that fits each person's goals. Erika practices in Michigan and holds the credential LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and is open to international clients for online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
How Erika’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions use conversation and guided exercises to spot patterns and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and online visits include simple homework and practice to shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong emotions, and in remote sessions Erika guides clients through noticing feelings and trying different responses in real time.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Erika works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person’s goals and daily life. She will discuss options, adjust techniques over time, and check in about what is working so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists watch nonverbal cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continuing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other routines while still focusing on concrete tools and progress.
