About Erika
Erika Haines is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, intimacy and eating issues, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. Erika works in California and speaks English and Spanish.
Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make sessions feel inviting so it is easier to talk about hard things.
Background and approach
Humor is used when it fits the moment. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding deeper patterns. Erika blends several approaches to match what each person needs.
She uses Jungian ideas to pay attention to personal meaning and inner imagery. She also draws on client-centered methods to offer empathic listening and on cognitive behavioral techniques to link thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Brief, solution-focused work is available when someone wants targeted change quickly.
For longer concerns she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and where they may have started. In session she balances exploring feelings with concrete strategies people can try between meetings. Erika has worked in the field for over a decade and brings approachable, steady support.
She encourages people to set realistic goals and to track progress in small steps. If someone prefers Spanish, she can meet in that language as well.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Erika uses Jungian-informed work to help clients notice personal symbols, dreams, and recurring themes that shape their choices and feelings. This approach can help when someone wants to find deeper meaning or understand repeating life patterns. She also uses client-centered therapy to provide a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person's priorities steer the work. That method helps people feel heard and understood while deciding what matters most to them.She often pairs those with cognitive behavioral techniques that break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals and try different approaches until something fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick notes, brief reflections, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
