About Erika
Erika Mastrobuono is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. Erika encourages small, practical steps toward change and supports people as they try new ways of handling hard moments.
With 14 years of experience, Erika draws on straightforward, talk-based work to help clients sort through problems. She listens closely to what matters most and uses that information to shape each session. Her style focuses on understanding how past patterns affect today's choices while also building tools for day-to-day relief.
Erika uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and create collaboration in sessions. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test alternatives. Psychodynamic concepts help uncover repeating themes from earlier life that influence current feelings and relationships.
In sessions she aims to balance insight with action. That can mean talking through a relationship pattern one week and practicing a new behavior the next. She works with people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, questions about life purpose, struggles with self-love, and women’s issues.
