About Ericka
Ericka L. Ferrias is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unmotivated because of depression, anxiety, trauma, and everyday stress. Her focus includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, parenting strain, relationship issues, ADHD, addictions, and guilt and shame.
Ericka uses practical, evidence-informed methods to find what underlies a person's current struggles. Sessions concentrate on identifying patterns that keep problems going. She then helps clients try different thinking and behavior strategies to change those patterns.
Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to clarify values and shift unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how she works - listening for what matters most and encouraging small, doable steps.
People who meet with her examine how past experiences influence present choices. The work often covers attachment and abandonment issues, commitment and control concerns, and forgiveness when guilt or shame is present. Ericka also addresses career stress, midlife questions, and multicultural factors.
In sessions she aims to keep people in an active role while offering guidance on new coping skills. That can mean practicing mindfulness, testing a different response, or setting short-term goals. The focus is on practical change rather than long lists of theory.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions show up. It can help people who feel stuck by naming what matters and choosing small steps that align with those values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, or compulsive reactions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can find their own answers. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports motivation to try different coping skills or life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques as progress is made.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or remote options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when life is busy. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit a schedule and communication style.
