Getting to know Erica Thornton

Hi there, I'm Erica! Hi! My name is Erica Thornton, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland. I am passionate about helping clients navigate challenges and tap into their strengths. I take a person-centered approach; you're in the driver's seat! My approach My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and collaborative. I draw from CBT, DBT, and solution-focused modalities. My focus My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore what healing and growth mean to them, even if they don't know where to start. I enjoy working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, interpersonal concerns, and self-esteem issues. My communication style I want all my clients to feel comfortable communicating with me. That means I may ask some clarifying questions to make sure I'm really understanding what you're saying. I want you to feel understood and know that your input is invaluable! My journey to mental healthcare I have always wanted to help people but wasn't sure how to make a real impact. Therapy gives me the opportunity to hold space for people. I love getting to know people and being part of their journey. It is a truly humbling experience that I don't take lightly. My goals for you We will explore your goals and come up with a step-by-step plan to get you there. We will also plan for any barriers that may arise. We can always revisit and restructure the goals if something isn't working for you. Be honest with me-I'm your co-pilot! My first session with you During our first session, we will explore your reasons for seeking therapy, discuss your personal history and current challenges, and talk about the goals you want to work toward. I will explain my approach, and you can ask any questions you have!
