About Ericka
Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. She helps adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life changes. Her work also includes support around addiction, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on family and parenting issues among other concerns, and she helps people talk through blended family dynamics, communication problems, and fatherhood issues. She also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
Ericka uses familiar therapeutic approaches like Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when people need concrete next steps or help finding motivation for change.
Her style is straightforward. She listens, reflects, and suggests exercises and small experiments to test new behaviors. Work may include communication skills, managing strong emotions, relapse prevention planning for addictions, and problem-solving for parenting stress or separation concerns.
Ericka’s practice acknowledges the role of identity and life circumstances in emotional health. She helps clients translate insight into specific actions that fit their daily lives. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session via the online platform.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Ericka commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping the client name what matters most. It can help when someone needs a clearer sense of priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Motivational Interviewing or Solution-Focused techniques may be added when a client wants help finding motivation or setting concrete short-term goals. These methods are direct and action-oriented, useful for addictions, parenting changes, or moving through a life transition. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to pick approaches that match their goals and situation.

The aim is to make therapeutic work practical and possible within everyday routines.
