About Erica
Erica Vayo is an LMHC practicing in Massachusetts. She has five years of clinical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and family-related difficulties. Erica aims to create a warm, respectful space where parents and caregivers can talk through pressing problems and find practical ways forward.
Her work is interactive and down to earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that fit daily life. She listens first, then tailors discussions and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Erica uses several approaches that emphasize the person’s own strengths and practical skills. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce reactivity and increase calm. Solution-focused strategies help set small, achievable goals and track progress.
Parents and caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed by behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, or changes in family life may find this approach useful. Erica also offers support around compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, helping people rebuild energy and self-care routines.
Her background includes work in a variety of mental health settings, including in-home care, group care environments, and clinics. That experience informs a practical, flexible style that aims to fit therapy into each person’s real life.
How Erica Uses Practical Therapies Online
Erica uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what the client wants to address. This approach means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks questions to clarify priorities, and shapes sessions around the goals you name.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas and mindfulness techniques to help manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. DBT-informed skills teach ways to tolerate distress and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings more calmly and respond rather than react.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what seems most useful. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured, so the plan fits your situation.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and less travel, which can help fit sessions into busy family routines.
