About Erika
Erika Haines is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship strain, and grief. She practices in California and offers care in English and Spanish. Erika brings a calm, approachable style that aims to make it easier to talk about painful issues.
She keeps conversations straightforward and warming, often using gentle humor when it fits. Sessions center on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect and on finding practical steps that help day-to-day life. Erika draws on client-centered listening to figure out what matters most to each person.
Erika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map links between thinking patterns and reactions, and she applies Solution-Focused techniques when clients want brief, action-oriented change. She also incorporates psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at longer-term patterns and deeper meanings when that work is helpful.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals and try small, manageable changes. For people dealing with parenting strain, eating or intimacy concerns, trauma, or addiction, she aims to build clearer coping plans and steadier routines.
With 13 years of experience as an LMFT in California, Erika is familiar with a wide range of challenges from ADHD and bipolar mood swings to domestic violence and multicultural issues. She invites people to take one step at a time toward feeling stronger and more stable.
