About Erica
Erica Rosenthal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Background and approach
Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related challenges. Erica uses practical, conversational methods in sessions.
She draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can use between meetings.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Erica aims to create a space where people can talk through painful patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try tools that ease daily life.
She emphasizes the give-and-take of the therapeutic relationship and invites feedback about what is or isn't working. Erica's background includes both mental health and substance use work across clinical settings.
That breadth helps when concerns overlap, such as when mood, relationships, and addictive behaviors interact. She uses that experience to tailor practical strategies for each person she sees.
Appointments are offered in Washington and conducted in English. Sessions are scheduled in the mornings and mid-afternoons; she does not work weekends or evenings.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Erica uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based approaches alongside elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship and personal concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small actions toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-based work focuses on how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating. The Gottman Method contributes practical communication and conflict tools that aim to strengthen relationship skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will listen to a client's goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is observed. That collaborative process helps find the mix of tools and exercises that feel most helpful for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and role-play; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
