About Erica
Erica Mau is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oregon with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and a wide range of life changes. Erica also lists work with ADHD, grief, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress.
Erica writes plainly and keeps sessions direct and interactive. She helps people identify beliefs and habits that are getting in the way, then practices steps to change them. Conversations focus on practical skills and straightforward problem solving as well as emotional understanding.
Her background includes private practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry. That mix has given her experience with both individual and group work and with people facing severe mood disorders and complex emotional difficulties. The bio notes experience with depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar I and II, and personality-related concerns.
Erica uses a blend of methods rather than a single technique. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and client-centered principles. Sessions often combine skill practice, real-life problem solving, and attention to feelings and relationships.
People who are juggling early adult responsibilities - school, new jobs, shifting relationships, and identity questions - may find her practical, direct style helpful. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. For sign-up, prospective clients follow the site matching steps to schedule a first session.
How Erica’s approaches translate to online work
Erica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. ACT concentrates on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, life transitions, and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus more on skills practice, emotional processing, or values-based actions.
The biography does not specify which online session types are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone participate from a different time zone, which supports international clients. Ask about formats offered and any scheduling details when you sign up.
