About Erica
Erica Rosenthal is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, parenting strain, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.
Erica uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She listens first, then offers simple tools to manage strong emotions and improve communication. Her work draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Erica frames therapy as a give-and-take process where goals are shaped together. She focuses on what is useful now and on small changes that build up over time.
Her background includes longtime practice in Washington State and work with people facing co-occurring concerns such as substance use and chronic health challenges. Erica also brings experience addressing attachment and body-image issues when they affect mood and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and provided through several online formats.
Scheduling is typically in the mornings and mid-afternoons on weekdays, and appointments are arranged to match each person’s needs.

Approach, Online Options, and What to Expect
Erica often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and it focuses on taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques so people can try what helps most and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in option. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief support into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions. These formats let people access therapy when scheduling or travel would otherwise make it hard to meet in person.
