    About Ericka

    Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She guides individuals through relationship and family tensions, parenting strains, and challenges with self-esteem and career direction. Her style is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping people make real changes that fit their lives.

    In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. She uses approaches like Motivational Interviewing to support motivation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, useful steps forward. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and how to get there.

    Her background includes 13 years in social work practice and a Florida LCSW credential. That experience informs work on issues such as addiction, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and the stress that comes from discrimination or life transitions. She also addresses blended family issues, codependency, and communication or control problems.

    Clients can expect a respectful, steady approach that balances practical strategies with personal values. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in daily choices. The therapist emphasizes collaboration so people leave with concrete next steps.

    Ericka works in Florida and conducts therapy in English. For people considering therapy, she encourages starting with a short questionnaire to match needs and then scheduling a first session to see if the fit feels right.

  2. How her approaches work in online therapy

    Ericka uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify a person’s reasons for change and to boost motivation. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and helping people find their own reasons to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety or depression. It often involves short exercises or simple experiments to try between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and realistic.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practical tools from CBT and Motivational Interviewing between sessions to build momentum in everyday life.
