About Erika
Erika Posey is an LMSW in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and addiction.
Erika draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions and connection shape everyday problems. She also uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavioral strategies when useful. Sessions tend to focus on naming feelings, noticing interaction patterns, and trying small changes that feel doable day to day.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in social work and a clinical master’s in social work. She has worked with people across the lifespan, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults. She has specific experience in maternal infant mental health and supports parents strengthening relationships with young children.
In practice she uses motivational interviewing and self-esteem building techniques alongside other approaches. That can mean practical skills for mood and anxiety, emotion regulation tools, or exploring how early attachment affects current relationships. Erika emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than long lectures.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Cost varies with location and is billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used online and how they help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It can help when strong feelings are hard to understand or when relationship and attachment concerns keep repeating.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and reactions. It can be useful for people who notice recurring worries about closeness, abandonment, or responsiveness from others.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using EFT ideas for emotion and bonding issues, adding CBT or DBT skills for mood and regulation, or focusing on parenting strategies when relevant.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and for the kinds of exercises you want to try.
