Erica Follick , LMHC

Erica Follick, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 8 years of professional experience. She supports people navigating depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting and career challenges, as well as issues related to grief, trauma and abuse, stress, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping struggles, anger and self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and needs within the LGBT community.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and sensitivity. Erica avoids stigmatizing labels and prefers to collaborate with each person to develop a tailored plan that reflects their goals and values. Drawing on evidence-informed techniques and a coaching-oriented mindset, she helps clients build practical skills, identify patterns that no longer serve them, and take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Erica welcomes clients who are ready to engage in growth and change and provides support whether someone is managing a specific problem or seeking broader personal development. She aims to create a compassionate space where progress is measured by the client's priorities and pace.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy Sessions

Erica often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own priorities and values guide the conversation; it is useful for building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and addressing life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skill-building, helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erica works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She combines clear goals, flexible techniques, and the client's preferences to tailor sessions that feel effective and manageable.

Online therapy with Erica is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home or work, and use a format that complements daily life while working toward meaningful change.
