About Erica

Erica Holtz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing grief, identity questions, work pressures, and challenges with intimacy or communication. Erica brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work in Pennsylvania.

Her style is warm and direct. She listens closely and names the patterns that get in the way of better relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve talking through current conflicts, tracing how past family dynamics show up now, and trying small changes to test what feels different. Humor and a straightforward manner are part of her approach. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect adult relationships.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners identify and respond to strong emotions. These approaches guide work on abandonment, attachment issues, infidelity, and blended family challenges. Erica has a background supervising and training other therapists and has worked in family therapy agencies.

She knows what it feels like to start therapy and aims to create a practical, hopeful process that helps people feel less stuck. Her work often includes coaching skills for communication and coping. Clients can expect clear goals and collaborative homework between sessions.

She frames therapy as a team effort to reduce distress, improve connection, and build better ways of handling life’s changes.

Online support

How attachment and emotion work translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice connection patterns and build safer emotional responses. This approach is useful for intimacy problems, abandonment wounds, and attachment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pacing, helping people feel heard and understood while they explore stress, identity questions, or parenting strain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and individuals identify intense feelings and practice new responses to reduce reactivity and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the focus as needs change over time. Decisions about pacing, homework, and which techniques to try are made together.

Online formats offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, try short coaching moments, or keep communication going when longer sessions aren’t possible. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
