Erica Follick , LMHC

Erica Follick is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with individuals and families on a wide range of concerns, including relationships, parenting, career transitions, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Erica combines client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral strategies to create tailored, practical treatment plans. Her therapy style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person's strengths and unique circumstances when shaping therapeutic goals and interventions.

In addition to traditional therapy concerns, Erica supports people coping with changes in life circumstances, challenges around self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger management, and compassion fatigue. She also offers coaching-oriented work for clients seeking structured guidance around career or life decisions.

Seeking help is a significant step toward a more fulfilling life, and Erica aims to support and empower clients through that process. She tailors dialogue and treatment to individual needs and works collaboratively to identify practical steps forward. Erica looks forward to partnering with those ready to begin change and growth.

Client-Centered and CBT Options for Online Care

Erica uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core approaches in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore values, goals, and personal strengths; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with mood or behavioral difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erica works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss clients' needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques so the work remains practical, achievable, and aligned with individual values.

Online therapy with Erica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, timely support and to adapt session style and pacing to what works best for each client.
