About Erica
Erica Ortiz-Pellicer is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She speaks both English and Spanish and draws on five years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

She meets people where they are and uses clear, down-to-earth language. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying small changes that make a difference, and planning manageable next steps.
Background and approach
Parents and caregivers can get help with parenting stress and blended family challenges without clinical jargon. Erica has experience addressing adoption and foster care concerns, multicultural issues, postpartum depression, and chronic illness or pain. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, social anxiety, control issues, and questions about life purpose.
Her work includes help with impulsivity, family of origin concerns, and coping after major life changes. Therapy can use a mix of conversation, practical problem solving, and skills practice tailored to each person's needs. Sessions may include short-term coping strategies and longer-term planning depending on what a person wants to work on.
Erica explains options in plain language so people can make informed choices. She offers services to English and Spanish speakers in Florida and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their calendar.
Practical Approaches and Online Care
Erica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, usable tools. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress - learning simple breathing, grounding, and thinking strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on mood and behavior change, helping people identify small routines and habits that lift mood and provide structure during life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time. She explains options in plain language and invites feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn't ideal, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or other responsibilities while keeping momentum between appointments.
