About Erica
Erica Hardman, LCSW, practices in Indiana and has three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, career concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, and related challenges. Her approach emphasizes practical work, goal-setting, and motivation to help people make changes they can keep.
Erica draws on experience from healthcare, child welfare, school, and community settings. That background informs how she talks through concerns with people from varied backgrounds. She focuses on strengthening coping skills, setting healthy boundaries, and improving communication.
Her work often includes concrete tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. She uses solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing techniques to turn insights into action. When trauma is part of the concern, she incorporates trauma-focused methods with attention to safety and pacing.
Erica is comfortable including spirituality or Christian faith when a client requests it. She frames faith as one of many resources a person may draw on during work in therapy. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and adjusts strategies based on each person’s goals.
People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unmotivated are a common focus. Sessions may include setting short-term goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing progress. To begin, she asks clients to identify clear, achievable steps toward the changes they want.

How Erica applies therapy approaches in online sessions
Erica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety, helping with mood, panic, and problem-solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unmotivated. That method emphasizes listening, clarifying personal goals, and building motivation for change in small steps. These approaches are practical and goal-oriented, and they fit many everyday life concerns like career decisions, relationship shifts, and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques that match the client’s needs. Decisions about pace, focus, and tools are made collaboratively during early sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around family and work commitments.
