Erika Mastrobuono

Erika Mastrobuono is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. She is straightforward and calm in sessions, and focuses on helping clients take the first steps toward change. Erika also addresses life transitions, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, questions about life purpose, self-love, and women’s issues.

Erika creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without feeling judged. She listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations typically focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions and on understanding patterns that get in the way of goals.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts and actions to mood, and psychodynamic ideas that look at how past relationships shape present behavior. These approaches are used to help with everyday problems and bigger life shifts.

Erika brings 14 years of experience in social work in California. She aims to be a steady partner while clients find clearer direction and relief from stress. People who come to her often want simple, doable tools and a therapist who listens.

How Erika's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to stress, relationship issues, and life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and mood. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and problematic habits by changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet with a licensed professional from wherever they have a calm block of time. Confirm the specific session options before booking to be sure they match your needs.
