About Erica

Erica Mau is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anger and strong emotions. She works with adults who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, or stress and want clearer coping tools and better daily functioning. Erica writes and talks plainly; she helps clients set goals and take small, steady steps toward them.

She uses a direct, interactive style in sessions. Erica listens without judgment and challenges habits that keep people stuck.

Background and approach

That often looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and trying short experiments between meetings. Erica draws on 16 years of clinical experience. Her background includes independent practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry.

That range gives her familiarity with mood disorders, anxiety, and complex cases where emotions run high. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when things feel overwhelming. Sessions aim to build practical skills for everyday life.

Erica also supports people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, ADHD, and life transitions. She works collaboratively to tailor plans that fit each person’s needs and goals.

How Erica’s Approaches Work Online

Erica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process makes adjustments over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a focused check-in. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, skills practice between sessions, or when writing is a preferred way to process thoughts and feelings. These formats add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
