Erica Mau, LPC

Erica Mau is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and family-of-origin questions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and changes like divorce or caregiving stress.

Her work is straightforward and interactive. She listens, asks direct questions, and helps people notice patterns they learned growing up. Sessions often focus on the thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and on practical steps to change them. Erica uses evidence-based methods to help people practice new skills between meetings.

Erica draws on experience from private practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry. That background informs how she supports people with mood disorders, anxiety, and complex emotional patterns. She also brings experience leading groups as well as one-on-one counseling.

In sessions she examines old beliefs and habits people carry from childhood and family life. She helps clients name those patterns and test different ways of responding. Work can include learning tools for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and coping with stress.

Her style is direct and practical. Clients who prefer concrete strategies and active collaboration may find this approach helpful. People who want to address how upbringing affects current relationships and self-worth will find that family-of-origin themes are part of the conversation.
