About Erica
Erica Martin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and family matters. Erica uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice patterns that keep recurring in their relationships and daily life.
In sessions she listens for how early family roles and expectations still affect current choices. She talks through feelings around attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family situations. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and the emotional weight of divorce or separation.
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She works step by step on small, doable changes that can reduce anxiety or improve connection. Sessions may include skills practice, realistic goal-setting, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
People who struggle with body image, guilt or shame, isolation, or caregiver stress can bring those concerns to the work. Erica pays attention to how family of origin issues shape feelings about commitment, intimacy, and boundaries. She supports adults who want clearer roles and healthier patterns in their relationships.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Prospective clients in Florida can expect direct conversation about goals and simple strategies to test between sessions.
