Erica Tyler, LISW

Erica Tyler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and major life changes.

Erica starts by meeting people where they are. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and build a plan that fits each person's situation. Sessions aim to be practical and direct so progress can show up between meetings.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. She uses these methods to help clients identify unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and find concrete steps forward. Humor and a warm, compassionate stance are part of how she connects with people.

Erica has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across multiple settings during her career. That background gives her experience applying strategies to real-life problems, like parenting stress or school and work demands.

People who choose Erica can expect a steady, goal-oriented process that values trust and empathy. She prefers short-term, practical work when appropriate, while remaining open to longer-term support when deeper concerns need attention.

CBT, Mindfulness, and Online Support

Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and then try different behaviors to see what works better. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger because it focuses on clear steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. Mindfulness techniques can reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit too, offering brief, goal-oriented steps to move forward quickly when specific problems need immediate attention. This approach highlights small, practical changes that add up over time.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Erica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what is or isn’t working.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
