About Erika
Erika Haines is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship friction, parenting struggles, and self-esteem challenges. Erika also supports those coping with trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
With 13 years of experience, Erika aims for a warm, down-to-earth tone in sessions. She listens with empathy and uses plain language so people can talk without feeling judged. Humor is used when it fits, and she focuses on creating a calm space to bring up hard topics.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to reflect what clients say and help them feel understood. Solution-Focused techniques are used when a shorter, goal-oriented approach makes sense.
Erika combines these approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean learning simple tools for stress, practicing new communication habits, or finding steps to manage cravings and compulsive behaviors. She explains options clearly so people know what to expect.
Erika notes she can only offer therapy to people who live in California. If you want to start, she asks you to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on her availability.
