About Erika
Erika Posey is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports issues related to self-esteem, addiction, ADHD, and career stress, among others.
Erika draws on a mix of straightforward, skills-based tools and relational work. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Her work includes attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches when the relationship dynamics are central. This can be useful for people who want to understand patterns in how they connect with others or to address intimacy-related concerns. Erika has experience supporting parents, including maternal-infant mental health and parenting skills for those caring for young children.
She describes her style as easy-going and strength-focused. Sessions usually involve setting practical goals, practicing new skills, and talking through the situations that cause stress or conflict. Clients can expect a collaborative focus on immediate coping tools and longer-term patterns.
Erika has worked across age groups in clinical settings, and she emphasizes advocacy and practical support. People who are navigating early adult transitions - leaving home, first jobs, school-to-work changes, relationship shifts, and questions about identity and purpose - may find her approach relevant.
How Erika’s approaches translate to online sessions
Erika uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping problems. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are often helpful for overwhelming emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean starting with skill-building exercises and then shifting to attachment or emotionally focused work if relationship patterns are central.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports practicing CBT or DBT skills in the moments they matter and reviewing tools between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to what works for each person.
