About Erika

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with six years of experience, Erika Hayes helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, and life changes. She often works with young adults and those dealing with end-of-life issues or hospice-related concerns. Sessions focus on communication, boundaries, and processing loss.

Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical skill-building. She pays attention to family of origin patterns and how those early relationships affect current interactions. In sessions she helps people name unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating.

When grief or hospice issues are present, Erika gives space for emotional processing and practical decision-related talk. She supports people through anticipatory grief and bereavement while addressing how those losses affect daily life and relationships. She also helps with communication problems that make conflict worse.

For stress and anxiety, sessions include straightforward coping strategies and steps to reduce overwhelm. The work combines short-term tools and longer-term shifts in boundaries and communication. Erika collaborates with each client to set concrete goals and measure small changes over time.

Her approach is conversational and goal-focused. Clients should expect to work on specific skills, practice them between sessions, and revisit what’s working. English-language sessions are offered; confirm current session formats before booking.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Erika draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage grief, anxiety, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and anxiety management - teaching simple breathing, grounding, and behavior steps that reduce immediate overwhelm. Another area of work targets communication and boundary skills - practicing phrases, setting limits, and role-playing new ways to speak so interactions change over time.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what they do together. That process helps decide whether to emphasize coping skills, communication drills, or deeper grief processing in ongoing sessions.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or choose video when face-to-face interaction matters more.
