About Erika

Erika Posey is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as parenting, grief, and coping with life changes. Erika also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, and intimacy or self-esteem struggles.

Her approach mixes practical skills and relationship-focused work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies to manage intense feelings and build coping skills. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods guide conversations about how family patterns affect current relationships.

Erika draws on maternal-infant mental health experience when supporting parents who want stronger connections with young children. She also addresses family of origin issues and attachment difficulties that show up in adult life. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill practice, and improving everyday interactions.

She regularly helps people handle major life transitions, grief, and caregiving stress. Communication problems, boundary setting, and codependency are common practical topics in sessions. Erika emphasizes a strength-based stance and advocates for clients as they make changes.

Clients can expect direct feedback, coping tools, and collaborative planning. She encourages rhythm and small steps to build stability. Before booking, confirm current session formats and how they fit your schedule.

How Erika’s approaches translate to online work

Erika uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on concrete exercises, thought records, and behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.

She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to look at how early family relationships shape current bonds. These approaches involve talking through relationship patterns, identifying attachment needs, and practicing different ways of connecting in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needed. That process starts with a conversation about what feels most useful and realistic.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss format preferences early so sessions match your routine and practical needs.
