About Erica
Erica Bellar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 19 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, depression, and life changes. She frames work around practical steps and goal-setting, and she also offers coaching-style support to help clients clarify priorities and move forward.
Her approach combines person-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means she focuses on what matters to the person in front of her, and uses concrete strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck. Sessions tend to be straightforward and task-focused when needed, with room for longer exploration where it helps.
Erica often supports people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of chronic illness or aging. She also works with concerns such as body image, postpartum depression, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation. These topics commonly surface alongside mood and panic symptoms, and she helps people sort practical next steps.
She states that coaching techniques can be blended with counseling to set goals and track progress. That can look like creating small, achievable plans between sessions, checking how those steps went, and adjusting strategies over time.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Erica describes work that blends person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Person-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the client’s priorities, helping them name what matters. Cognitive-behavioral techniques provide concrete skills and exercises to change thought and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress.She also integrates coaching-style methods to set goals and track progress. That means therapist and client decide together what to try, set small steps between sessions, and review what worked. Finding the right mix of listening, skills work, and coaching is part of the early sessions and is adjusted as needs and goals become clearer.
The biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote formats and to fit everyday routines without promising a specific delivery method.
