About Erika

Erika Delco is a New York licensed clinical social worker. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and has five years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Erika focuses on practical conversations. She listens and reflects what she hears, and then works with people to identify small steps forward. Sessions often involve clarifying priorities, testing new ways of thinking, and trying out techniques that reduce daily stress. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead and create a collaborative space.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and choices. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and notice progress between sessions.

Erika has supported people with grief, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, body image and eating-related questions, and women's issues. She pays attention to practical problems like scheduling, work demands, and caregiving stress. The focus is on what can be done now to make day-to-day life more manageable.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. She works in English from New York and does not work with international clients.

How her approaches fit with online work

Erika uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's concerns and priorities, focusing conversation on what matters most to the client. That approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings or decide what to address first.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which involves noticing patterns of thought and behavior and trying small experiments to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical problems that affect daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to set short-term, concrete goals and track small wins between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how interventions are going, and adjust plans together. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person's needs and lifestyle.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during work or caregiving changes while focusing on practical coping and planning.
