About Erika

Erika Posey is an LMSW practicing in Michigan who focuses on supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship and family issues, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience and a background in social work, she brings a strengths-based, easy-going manner to therapeutic work and prioritizes helping clients build practical skills for coping and growth. Her training includes a clinical master’s in social work and experience across the lifespan, from newborns and toddlers to teens, adults, and older adults.

She offers interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and incorporates motivational interviewing and self-esteem building techniques to address concerns like trauma, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Erika also has a focus on maternal-infant mental health and works to strengthen early parent-child relationships when relevant.

She approaches therapy collaboratively, centering client strengths and real-life goals while acting as an advocate for improved well-being and functional change.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Erika draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches to guide online work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, support mood regulation, and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds, helping clients repair or strengthen connections that affect relationships and sense of security.

Determining which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, explore preferences, and tailor methods so that sessions address the client’s unique needs and circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, geographic limitations, or varying comfort levels with different formats, while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing support and skills practice in ways that match a client’s life.
