Professional statement

Erika Bluntson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Washington and a Qualified Supervisor in Florida who works with adults. Many of Erika’s clients come in when experiencing difficulty managing motherhood and parenting, managing severe anxiety symptoms, or navigating major life changes. Erika is particularly passionate about serving millennial mothers and those who struggle with anxiety. She has advanced training in perinatal and postpartum mental health and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Erika’s approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based model that integrates mindfulness, acceptance, values, and committed action. She helps clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and stress responses while developing practical skills to navigate them more effectively. By focusing on present-moment stressors and clarifying personal values, Erika supports clients in responding with intention rather than reacting from overwhelm. This work fosters both acceptance of past challenges and meaningful forward movement toward becoming the best version of themselves.

Erika is focused on helping clients experience genuine progress. Her style is gentle, empowering, and interactive, incorporating empathy, active listening, thoughtful challenge, and humor when appropriate. She views clients as active partners in the therapeutic process and works collaboratively to identify clear, meaningful goals for therapy.

Erika’s first priority when starting with a new client is ensuring they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the work. As a seasoned telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a consistent and accessible part of your self-care routine.


Message to clients

Authenticity and empowerment are at the heart of my work. I’m passionate about helping you grow into the most confident, grounded version of yourself. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, but choosing to prioritize yourself is a powerful first step.

I invite you to schedule a phone consultation so we can connect and see if we’re a good fit. In our sessions, we’ll work together to better understand what you’re experiencing and feeling, and then build practical, effective tools to help you manage those emotions with greater ease.

I lead with empathy and active listening, offer gentle challenges when helpful, and believe that a little humor can go a long way. I truly believe we can do meaningful work together.
