About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with 25 years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addiction, process trauma and abuse, and work through grief and loss. He also supports people facing depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions.
He uses straightforward, talk-based sessions to identify habits and thoughts that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches he uses to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses.
Elrick also draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are offered when they fit the client's goals, for things like reducing anxiety, improving focus, or easing sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when people feel stuck with habits like substance use.
He keeps sessions goal-focused and concrete. People can expect help breaking big problems into smaller tasks. Homework and short exercises are common so progress can be tracked between sessions.
Overall, he aims for clear guidance and steady steps rather than jargon. Parents reading on a phone will find brief, practical explanations and a focus on what to try next.
How his approaches translate to online work
Elrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include short activities and homework to practice new skills between meetings. He also employs client-centered therapy which prioritizes listening and clarifying each persons goals so sessions stay focused on what matters to them.Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques may be added when helpful, for example to reduce anxious arousal or support better sleep and concentration. These methods are offered as tools alongside talk-based work and are chosen based on what the client wants to try.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single plan. That conversation is part of early sessions and can be revisited as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so therapy can be added into a lunch break or after work. Licensed professionals often adapt practical exercises for remote sessions so skills can be practiced between meetings.
