Erika Posey, LMSW

Erika Posey is a licensed master social worker who helps people facing big life changes and everyday strains. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, parenting struggles, grief, addiction, and midlife transitions. Erika speaks English and works with adults across a range of issues drawn from seven years in practice.

She trained in social work through an undergraduate degree and a clinical master’s in social work, and she holds an MI LMSW. Erika uses straightforward, practical methods rather than clinical jargon. Sessions tend to center on identifying priorities, building skills, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.

Erika blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior techniques alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods. That mix supports emotion regulation, clearer communication, and repairing important relationships. She also brings experience with maternal-infant mental health to support parents and caregivers working on early parent-child connections.

In sessions she aims for a calm, strength-based tone and active collaboration. People can expect skill-building, problem-solving, and a focus on real-life steps between meetings. Erika has supported people through trauma, grief, adjustment challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice serves people in Michigan and she accepts international clients. To start, clients use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

How Erika’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on connection and repair, which can ease anxiety and improve intimacy in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s experience and personal goals, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk and pace change at a comfortable rate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Erika works collaboratively to identify which method or combination will best meet a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting care into a busy week, keeping follow-ups brief, and using tools like thought records or emotion regulation exercises between meetings. Online work can make it easier to maintain consistency with appointments and to bring practical problems from daily life into sessions for direct problem-solving.
