About Erika

Erika Posey is a licensed master social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward presence for people wanting clearer coping skills and stronger relationships. She blends emotionally-focused ideas with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working.

Sessions look at emotions and patterns so clients can name what matters and try new responses. She also draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and DBT skills to teach concrete tools for managing intense feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

Erika has seven years of experience in social work and clinical practice in Michigan. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, loss, addiction, mood challenges, parenting strain, and identity concerns. She has supported people across the lifespan, including parents focused on early-childhood bonding and maternal-infant mental health.

In session she uses a strengths-minded style and motivational interviewing techniques to help clients set realistic goals. Practical skill-building is paired with attention to emotional safety and attachment needs. That combination helps clients reduce reactive patterns and improve communication.

Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International sessions are supported in English. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Erika often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and change patterns that get in the way of close connections. EFT focuses on emotions in the moment and can help with relationship strain, attachment worries, and intimacy-related issues.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship habits. This approach helps people reframe old patterns and practice new ways of reaching out and asking for support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as coping improves or new issues arise.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit quick reflections or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue care across locations.
