Ericka Ferrias , LPC

Ericka L. Ferrias, LPC, works with people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or unsure of what to do next. She supports those who are overwhelmed, dealing with racing thoughts, or frequently overthinking, and helps clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, or the steady pressure of everyday stress. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that denotes formal training and a state license to provide counseling - she focuses on helping clients regain momentum and clarity in their lives.

Ericka emphasizes a collaborative process that uncovers the root causes of the patterns and challenges holding a person back. Together with each client she explores new thinking patterns, healthier behavior responses, and practical coping strategies for difficult moments. Her style keeps the client in the driver’s seat while offering steady, empathetic guidance and support to move forward and rebuild a sense of control and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ericka draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and commit to actions that support a meaningful life. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people feeling stuck. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client’s own experience and fosters a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their goals and build self-understanding. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing mood, stress, and daily challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ericka collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel heard and engaged in their own growth.

Online therapy with Ericka can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue consistent work on stress, trauma, and life transitions from home or while managing a busy life.
