About Erika

Erika Coombs is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in New Hampshire who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She brings nine years of professional experience to her work and aims to create a welcoming atmosphere where clients can explore difficult feelings and life transitions without fear of judgment. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical support, guiding clients through coping with family conflict, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, and career or identity-related concerns including LGBT matters and ADHD.

Erika combines evidence-informed methods to help people clarify goals, build skills, and regain a sense of direction after loss or during times of change. Clients can expect a therapist who values openness and steady support while working toward more satisfying day-to-day functioning.

Erika encourages the courage it takes to seek help and partners with each person to develop strategies that fit their unique circumstances and priorities.

Approaches and Online Options for Collaborative Care

Erika commonly integrates client-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths, which is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping with stress, making it helpful for anxiety, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. She will work with each person to consider their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods over time so therapy remains useful and goal-directed rather than fixed to a single model.

Online therapy with this clinician includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily routines. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere in New Hampshire, while allowing the therapist and client to focus on practical strategies and progress.
