About Erica
Dr. Erica Johnson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Dr. Johnson uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She and the client look at long-standing patterns that keep someone stuck and practice practical skills to ease stress and reduce anxiety. Sessions include learning ways to set limits, notice emotional triggers, and build clearer communication habits.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work and a PhD in Organizational Behavior, plus experience in corporate settings helping employees navigate personal and career challenges. That mix informs how she connects life roles, work, and relationships when those areas feel out of balance.
In sessions she pays attention to trauma and post-traumatic stress and works with mood and personality concerns using structured methods alongside mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas. The work aims to make small, manageable changes that feel useful in day-to-day life.
People are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
How evidence-based work can translate to online sessions
Dr. Johnson commonly integrates cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, mood, and communication patterns. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of triggers.She also uses elements of acceptance and commitment ideas that help clarify values and guide action when life feels stuck. These methods are explained in plain terms and practiced together so the client can decide what fits. Figuring out the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process and she works with each person to fine tune approaches based on goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also adapt exercises for phone or video, for example using a brief coaching-style check-in when less time is available or a longer video session to practice communication skills in real time.
