About Erica

Erica Mau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 16 years of clinical experience helping people move toward greater joy, purpose, and emotional well-being.

Background and approach

She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. Erica brings experience from independent practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry to offer informed, practical support.

Her approach blends direct, interactive counseling with a compassionate, non-judgmental stance. She partners with clients to examine long-standing beliefs and habits that may be limiting progress, and she supports the development of healthier coping skills and clearer priorities.

Erica views each person as the expert of their own life and focuses on empowering meaningful, sustainable change. Erica has particular clinical experience with mood and personality disorders, including Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar I and II, Borderline Personality, and other personality disorders.

She provides individual and group counseling for all ages and tailors an integrated treatment plan that may draw on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. Her mission is to help others find more peace, joy, and love in their lives.

Erica emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and a supportive therapeutic relationship to help clients regain hope and move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling options

Erica draws from several practical therapeutic approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters most, often supporting those facing life transitions, stress, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills that can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Erica collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process aims to match therapeutic tools to what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy with Erica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographical distance to engage in consistent work with a licensed professional and pursue steady progress toward their goals.
