01About Erica
Erica Mau is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of clinical experience who helps people break cycles of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and works directly with clients to set goals and build everyday skills. Erica creates a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can talk through what gets in the way of living a fuller life.
Erica’s approach is interactive and practical. She asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people test new habits.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs and trying small changes that fit daily life. The aim is to boost energy, strengthen relationships, and make steady progress toward the goals a person chooses. Her background includes work in independent practice, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatry.
That range has shaped how she supports people through mood disorders, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and personality-related struggles. She also brings experience running individual and group counseling for a wide span of ages. Erica uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and acceptance-oriented ideas.
She tailors interventions to what actually helps someone feel better and function more smoothly day to day. Clients often come for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, body image, or career strain. Erica is based in Oregon and offers services designed to help people move toward more peace, purpose, and meaningful connection.

04Online support
Practical therapy methods you can use online
Erica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change how they respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking actions that matter, even when emotions are uncomfortable. CBT breaks big problems into small, testable steps so people can change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful, focusing on listening and responding to each person’s experience. Figuring out the best mix of approaches is part of the work together. Erica will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps most in real life.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer therapy work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people fit support into a busy day, use shorter check-ins, and track progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
