I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the state of California. I can only provide therapy to clients that reside in the state of California. I have been working for about 10 years with clients that have a vast range of issues and concerns, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, relationship issues, domestic violence, abuse (physical and emotional), anger management, chemical dependency/coping, stress management, parenting problems, and teen issues. I enjoy working with the elderly and with all my clients.
My counseling style is compassionate and understanding. I like to use humor when it is appropriate. I try to create a warm and inviting atmosphere so it is easier to talk about issues and concerns. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy, because it is helpful to understand the relationship between yours thoughts and feelings and your behavior. I use Client Centered therapy as well, providing an empathetic understanding of what is going on. Solution Focused therapy is very effective for brief counseling, finding solutions in the present to help better your future.
I am happy to accompany you in your journey to feel better and stronger to have a happier and fulfilled life.
I hope to work with you soon.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erika Haines. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She has been such an important source of support as I navigate my divorce. From our very first session, she made me feel heard, understood, and less alone. She helped me recognize that my children’s well-being was at the heart of my decisions and reassured me that advocating for their needs was reasonable, even when I was questioning myself.
We’ve talked through some incredibly heavy topics, and she has met each one with compassion, patience, and care. Her support has helped me trust myself and find strength during one of the hardest chapters of my life. I’m so grateful to have her in my corner.

Erika has been so kind and wonderful through the process of working on myself, when things feel embarrassing or feelings I’ve never delt with before come up and are scary she really makes me feel seen and understood
