About Erica
Erica Bellar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She blends counseling with life-coaching skills to support practical goal setting and clearer daily routines. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making difficult problems easier to handle one step at a time.
With 19 years of experience, Erica uses person-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. In sessions she listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and coaches people through steps that build confidence and coping skills. This mix can be useful for stress, workplace strain, and mood concerns.
Erica also works with people facing medical complexity, chronic pain, and perinatal mood concerns such as postpartum depression. She supports those coping with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, body image worries, and isolation or loneliness. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns she addresses.
Her background includes counseling across a range of adult life stages and life transitions, including young adult and women’s issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and seasonal mood shifts. She aims to match therapy to each person’s goals and daily realities rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect a practical, goal-focused approach that combines therapeutic listening with actionable coaching. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Erica commonly combines person-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques in her work. Person-centered therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client’s pace to help them feel understood and make their own changes. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic attacks.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with listening and coaching, then adding cognitive-behavioral exercises if someone wants more structure for anxiety or panic symptoms.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from a location that minimizes distractions or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals will help tailor session length and frequency to match your needs and goals.
