About Erica
Erica Bellar is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She works with adults facing career stress, relationship strain, medical complexity, and the everyday pressures that can feel overwhelming. Erica draws on person-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas to make therapy practical and approachable.
Sessions are warm and nonjudgmental. She blends therapeutic listening with coaching-style goal work to help people move toward clearer priorities and better routines.
Background and approach
Her work often involves breaking big problems into doable steps. That can mean building coping skills for panic or chronic pain, making plans after a separation, or finding structure during a career transition. She also supports people dealing with guilt, loneliness, body image concerns, and challenges related to pregnancy or postpartum changes.
With 19 years of experience, Erica combines clinical counseling with life-coaching tools to support progress over time. She aims to help people feel more capable of handling daily demands and long-term adjustments. Erica practices in Colorado as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - and offers sessions in English.
She uses practical exercises, talk-based reflection, and goal setting so clients leave each session with something to try before the next meeting.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Erica commonly uses person-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on listening deeply and helping people name what matters to them, which supports decision making and emotional processing. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help people spot unhelpful thinking and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or ease panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which techniques feel most useful. Together they review goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging can provide brief check-ins, between-session support, or a way to work when schedules are tight. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
