Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Meet Erica, MSW, LISW | Full Circle Mental Health LLC
I believe therapy should fit the person, not the other way around. If you are an adult, couple, or blended family navigating daily anxiety, deep-seated trauma, or the isolating process of a religious faith transition, you belong here. I provide tailored, integrative telehealth therapy across Ohio designed to help you process wounds, break old patterns, and reclaim your personal power.
Because every client faces different challenges, I don't rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. My practice is grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed framework where we will honor your innate resilience while creating a deeply safe space to process past wounds. Depending on your unique goals, we will weave evidence-based tools into a personalized, virtual roadmap:
• For Individuals & Trauma Healing: Drawing from TF-CBT, standard CBT, and DBT skills to conquer anxiety, manage stress, and heal from spiritual trauma.
• For Couples & Relational Growth: Utilizing the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to break negative communication cycles and rebuild lasting intimacy.
• For Blended Families: Implementing Bowenian Family Systems Therapy to navigate household integration friction and establish healthy boundaries.
Taking that first step can bring up a lot of emotions, and it is completely normal to feel nervous. Our initial virtual session is a low-pressure space entirely focused on human connection, safety, and understanding your big picture. You do not need to have all the answers—just come exactly as you are. Visit fullcirclementalhealthllc.com to book your free consultation today.

Kelley Boole
Therapist, LSW
Online therapy with me is the same warm, neuroscience-informed work you'd get in my Rocky River office, just delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant video so you can do it from anywhere in Ohio. Sessions are a real conversation about what's actually weighing on you, paired with practical, brain-based tools (especially for anxiety, panic, and worry). Telehealth is a great fit if you're juggling work, kids, caregiving, mobility limits, or simply prefer the comfort of your own space.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am offering evidence-based online therapy for individuals in recovery from eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, or body image challenges. I work with individuals in all stages of their recovery process- from those first exploring whether they might have an eating disorder to those who feel established in their recovery. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience. In addition to my niche of working patients with eating disorders, I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD/trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work with teens and adults. Since eating disorders tend to affect the whole family, I also work with spouses, partners and family members. Whether you've been in therapy before, or are taking the very first step towards recovery, I would love to hear from you! If you are unsure about therapy or whether we are the right fit, I'd be happy to schedule a free, 15-minute phone consultation.

10 Years Experience
Online in Columbus, OH
Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
