About
Erika Roberts, LCSW, brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. Over the course of her career she has worked extensively with people experiencing homelessness, young people, and individuals with severe mental health concerns. She is comfortable working with those on the Autism spectrum and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Her approach centers on treating people with respect and compassion while offering practical tools during sessions.
She draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. Erika aims to help clients develop skills they can use between sessions, whether that means new coping strategies, communication practices, or ways to notice and shift unhelpful patterns.
Erika describes her work as both compassionate and appropriately challenging. She hopes to support people who are navigating trauma, mood concerns, relationship issues, addiction, grief, attention differences, and other life changes, and to assist them as they pursue goals that matter to them.

Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Erika uses a blend of structured and exploratory techniques in her remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to establish concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
She favors a collaborative stance: clients and therapist work together to choose the methods and exercises that fit current needs. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered elements are used when exploring relational patterns and personal goals, while Motivational Interviewing supports engagement and change when ambivalence arises.
Erika offers remote contact through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain continuity of care and to apply therapeutic tools in ways that suit each person’s schedule and communication preferences.
