Getting to know Erica Hubbard
I believe everyone deserves a safe, steady place to lay down what feels heavy. That belief is what led me to create Porch Swing Counseling. Much like a real porch swing, my practice is meant to offer grounding and gentle forward motion—a place where you can pause, reflect, and regain perspective when life feels overwhelming.
My journey into counseling was shaped by my own lived experiences. I spent years as a stay-at-home mom, poured myself into raising my children, and later walked through the challenges of being a single mom. In time, I remarried and became part of a blended family, learning firsthand how beautiful and complex that can be. These seasons taught me resilience, the importance of grace, and the power of authentic connection. They also gave me a deep understanding of what it’s like to juggle responsibilities, navigate transitions, and long for a place where you can simply be yourself without judgment.
I specialize in working with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, divorce, grief, ADHD, chronic pain, and women’s issues. Many of my clients come to me feeling worn out from trying to do it all, unsure of where to turn, and longing for relief. My heart is to meet you right where you are, honor your story, and walk with you toward steadier ground.
Clients often describe me as approachable, genuine, and down-to-earth. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy; instead, I tailor sessions to your unique needs, always with compassion and honesty. My faith and values shape how I show up—with integrity, grace, and hope—but I warmly welcome clients of all backgrounds and beliefs.
If you’re seeking a counselor who will sit with you in the hard places, celebrate your progress, and encourage both your grit and your grace, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out today to schedule your first session—I’d love to hear your story and help you take the next step forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When clients describe working with me, the words I hear most often are authentic, steady, and approachable. I believe counseling should feel like a real conversation—not clinical, intimidating, or one-sided. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to come alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and honesty as you sort through the challenges you’re facing.
I value authenticity above all. What you see is what you get—I show up as myself, and I invite you to do the same. That means we’ll talk about the hard things with honesty, but we’ll also celebrate small wins, find moments of laughter, and focus on the strengths you already carry. My approach blends grit and grace: I’ll gently challenge you when needed, while also offering encouragement, patience, and kindness.
While I bring warmth and compassion into every session, I also use evidence-based approaches so you leave with practical tools you can apply in your everyday life. These include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or stress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Building mindfulness and flexibility so you can accept what you can’t control while moving toward what matters most to you.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Highlighting your strengths and focusing on small, actionable steps that create meaningful change.
I tailor each session to your needs—you won’t find a “one-size-fits-all” approach here. For clients who want it, I also offer the option to integrate faith and spirituality into therapy. For others, we simply focus on your values, goals, and strengths.
My goal is that you leave our sessions feeling lighter, more understood, and more equipped with strategies to handle whatever comes next. At Porch Swing Counseling, you’ll find a space that is steady, supportive, and rooted in genuine care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When you come to a session with me—whether in person or through telehealth—you can expect to be welcomed into a space that feels safe, steady, and judgment-free. We’ll start by checking in on how you’ve been since we last met and what feels most important for you to talk about that day. Some weeks it may be a specific situation that’s weighing on you, while other times it may be more about long-term patterns you want to change. Either way, you set the pace and the priorities.
From there, our sessions become a collaborative conversation. I’ll ask questions that help us uncover what’s beneath the surface, gently challenge you to look at things from new perspectives, and reflect back what I hear so you feel truly understood. Depending on your needs, we might practice coping strategies for managing anxiety or depression, explore healthier ways to communicate in relationships, or work on setting boundaries that protect your energy. If you’re navigating grief, caregiver stress, or blended family dynamics, we’ll make space for those unique challenges too.
I draw from proven approaches like CBT, ACT, and SFBT, but I always explain concepts in everyday language and connect them directly to your life. My goal is for you to leave each session with both insight and practical tools you can use right away—whether that’s a new coping strategy, a shift in perspective, or simply the relief of being truly heard.
Most importantly, sessions are never about perfection. They’re about progress, honesty, and building resilience. Some days may feel heavy, other days lighter, and sometimes there’s even laughter—but all of it is welcome. Over time, you’ll begin to notice yourself feeling more grounded, more confident, and more hopeful about your ability to handle whatever comes next.
At Porch Swing Counseling, a typical session isn’t just about talking—it’s about creating meaningful change, one step at a time.
