Helping you make sense of the feelings you don’t understand.
Erica Brown, LPC, LMHC
Virtual Therapy for Adults Struggling with Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, & Relationships in Tampa and throughout Florida & Texas
You spend so much energy just trying to hold it all together.
You’re in the right place.
You’re the one people count on — dependable, composed, and endlessly capable. Behind the calm exterior though, you’re often running on empty. You second-guess yourself, worry about letting others down, and wonder why peace always feels just out of reach.
You’ve worked hard to create stability in your life, yet something still feels unsettled. Relationships feel one-sided, boundaries are hard to hold, and you’re tired of trying to meet everyone’s expectations while ignoring your own.
The truth is, everything you’re frustrated with yourself about at one point were vital coping skills that helped you survive. You’ve grown and changed and now these old survival are but are keeping you stuck in survival mode.
In my therapy practice, I specialize in helping you unravel these long-held patterns and reconnect with your own inner clarity, boundaries, and worth.
If this sounds familiar,
Since 2014, I’ve worked in the mental health filed with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the lingering effects of growing up in emotionally unpredictable environments. My clients are intelligent, self-aware, and successful on the outside, but inside, they’re exhausted from trying to manage invisible wounds.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in corporate leadership and professional development roles — experiences that deepened my understanding of how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance pressure can show up both personally and professionally.
Today, I combine that experience with clinical training and relational approaches to help clients connect the dots between their past and present patterns — and begin to rewrite them.
What I’ve seen — over and over — is that once people start naming their experiences without shame or self-blame, something powerful begins to shift. That’s the work I love most: helping clients untangle what they were taught to ignore and finally understand that their feelings make perfect sense.
Hello, I’m Erica
Working with Me
Therapy is deeply personal, and I don’t take it lightly that you’re will to share some of the most vulnerable parts of yourself. Parts that you may not have should with anyone else before. One of the things clients often tell me is that they finally feel understood and seen—sometimes for the first time.
I offer a space where your experiences aren’t minimized, pathologized, or rushed. Instead, we slow down. We listen to what’s been buried, overlooked, or dismissed—so that you can begin to trust yourself again.
What often makes this work feel safe is that I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore your story with more compassion and clarity than perhaps you’ve ever been allowed. You don’t need to perform, explain everything perfectly, or worry about being “too much.” You just need to show up as you are.
Therapy with me isn’t about quick solutions—it’s about real change that comes from understanding, not pressure. If you're searching for a therapist with a calm presence, who is curious without being judgmental, and able to hold both depth and lightness in the therapy space, then you’re in the right place.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new — it means reconnecting with who you’ve always been beneath the pressure to perform or please.
