About Ericka
Ericka Dorlean-Febles is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She is based in Florida and brings 13 years of experience to sessions. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at giving practical tools for everyday struggles.
Clients come with many concerns such as depression, anger, relationship friction, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also addresses family problems like blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, divorce and separation, and domestic violence.
Background and approach
Ericka pays attention to how prejudice, discrimination, and systemic pressures shape emotional life. Ericka uses clear methods that keep goals in view. She draws on client-centered work to listen and build a collaborative plan.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to spark motivation and create concrete next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills for communication, boundaries, and coping.
Parents often work on routines, discipline strategies, and repairing communication with co-parents. People also get help with grief, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and finding purpose after big transitions. She offers a nonjudgmental space where growth is paced to each person.
The aim is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings. Ericka speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding with the person at the center of change. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify values, and works with each person's priorities to set the agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps people try small experiments, track patterns, and develop new coping skills for anxiety, depression, or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process ensures sessions stay focused and useful to the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which add flexibility to scheduling and how people engage. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping progress steady.
