Erica Holtz

Erica Holtz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing relationship and family challenges. She supports individuals and couples working through divorce and separation, trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and issues around intimacy. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming for people who are anxious or unsure.

Erica uses approaches rooted in attachment and emotionally-focused work alongside a client-centered stance. She pays attention to patterns between people and how family history affects current relationships. Sessions focus on what is happening between people and on practical shifts that can reduce conflict and increase connection.

She trained at La Salle University and completed a yearlong internship at a family therapy agency in Philadelphia. Erica has supported other therapists and interns in clinical settings and has 16 years of experience in practice. Her background includes work with trauma histories and with families that include a member with autism.

Her style is adaptable and empathetic, often using authenticity and occasional humor to build rapport. She prefers an approach that includes the relevant people in a problem when that makes sense, but she also works effectively with individuals who want focused, systemic work alone.

Erica aims to help people feel less stuck and to create lasting change. She guides clients toward clearer communication, healthier patterns, and goals that match their values and daily life.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translate online

Erica commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect today and helps rebuild safer ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on underlying emotions in relationships and helps couples and individuals identify and change patterns that keep them stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which approach or combination will fit the client's needs and situation.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let people choose sessions without being on camera if that is more comfortable. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often adapt their methods to work effectively at a distance while focusing on communication patterns, emotional access, and steps clients can practice between sessions.
