About Erika
Erika Torres is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, stress and anxiety, and other life changes. Erika also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, addictions, and concerns related to adoption, foster care, immigration, and family of origin issues.
Erika uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations. She draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify small changes that make a difference. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing choices or trying to change a habit.
Sessions tend to focus on strengths and practical steps. Erika helps people notice patterns coming from their family of origin and then tries new ways of responding. She will work with a client's priorities, whether that means parenting strategies, relationship boundaries, or stress management techniques.
Her style is direct and encouraging, with room for honest talk and occasional humor. Erika aims to help clients sort through what feels difficult now and build clearer next steps for daily life.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and closeness. It can help people notice repeating roles and try different ways of relating to partners or family members.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed over time so approaches can shift as progress or new challenges appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. Remote work can also make it easier to maintain consistency during life transitions while using the therapist's attachment and CBT tools to practice new responses.
