About Erica
Erica Tyler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people take small steps that lead to real change.
She begins by meeting each person where they are and creating a simple plan together. Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic strategies rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Erica blends structured tools with moments of levity to keep work feeling human and doable. Erica draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She uses mindfulness practices to build calm and focus, and solution-focused ideas to identify what’s working and do more of it.
These methods guide conversations and homework between sessions. Over her career she has worked in a variety of settings with children, adolescents, and adults. That range informs a flexible style that adapts to what each person needs in the room.
She emphasizes trust, empathy, and a steady, collaborative pace. Many clients come with immediate, everyday problems - sleep trouble, overwhelm, parenting strain, or trouble concentrating. Erica aims to make talking about those issues straightforward, practical, and useful so people can move forward with confidence.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Erica uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with attention or focus. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and reduce reactivity through simple breathing and awareness practices that can be done between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, practical steps that already work and expand them to create quick changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs and progress become clear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to exchange brief updates or homework prompts between sessions, adding flexibility for busy days.
