About Erika
Erika Posey is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also lists support for ADHD, addictions, bipolar concerns, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT matters.
Erika draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. She uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships affect mood and behavior. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small behavior changes that fit daily life.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in social work and a clinical master’s degree in social work, with special experience in maternal-infant mental health and parenting support. That work involved helping parents strengthen relationships with young children and building coping skills for stress and caregiving demands.
In sessions she offers motivational interviewing and self-esteem building techniques alongside skill-focused therapy methods. She has experience working with people across the lifespan, from newborn-related parent concerns to older adult issues, and she describes her style as easy-going and strength-based.
Erika accepts clients who live internationally and conducts work in English. Practical next steps are to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk through current priorities and what a few steps forward might look like.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this means looking at relationship patterns, recognizing attachment responses, and practicing different ways of connecting to reduce reactivity and improve closeness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking, tests assumptions, and builds small behavior changes and coping skills for mood, anxiety, and life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make it hard to follow through on values and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients and therapists collaborate to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That often means trying skills-based tools first and adjusting as progress and comfort are assessed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life while working on direction, coping, and relationship changes.
