About Erika
Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and parenting concerns. She draws on a decade of clinical experience to offer steady support and practical steps when life feels overwhelming. She builds a working relationship that centers on listening and honesty.
That relationship becomes the starting point for talking through hard feelings, confusing choices, and past hurts. Sessions focus on real problems and realistic next steps rather than abstract labels.
Background and approach
Erika uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She often uses client-centered ideas to follow the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational and solution-focused tools are added when someone needs concrete goals or help finding momentum.
Her style is curious and down-to-earth. She encourages questions, practical experiments, and small changes that fit daily life. She also makes space for meaning and values work, helping people consider what matters most to them.
Erika has worked in a range of settings over ten years and has supported people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, identity questions, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients who can connect from other locations.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Erika commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make practical changes. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the person’s concerns and pace, offering empathy and space to speak. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them.She also uses solution-focused and motivational ideas to help people set clear goals and find momentum. These approaches aim to identify what is working, build on strengths, and take doable steps toward change. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process - the therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and flexibility. This mix makes it possible to keep therapy going through busy days, moves, or time zone differences.
