About Erica
Erica Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Georgia with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, trauma and LGBTQ concerns. Erica also addresses stress, addictions, parenting and career-related challenges.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. Erica listens closely to what feels most urgent and helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses discussion and activities to try different responses to recurring problems.
Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it fits the client's goals. She also draws on Client-Centered and Narrative techniques to explore how life stories and personal values shape reactions. Solution-Focused ideas are used to set short-term steps when momentum is needed.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and concrete skills. Erica helps people notice thinking patterns, experiment with new behaviors, and track what changes. She often assigns small exercises between sessions to practice skills in daily life.
People who prefer practical, structure-oriented work may find this approach useful. Erica aims to create a steady process of check-ins, skill-building, and gradual change. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions include setting clear goals, practicing alternative thoughts, and assigning brief tasks to try between meetings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. That approach helps clarify personal priorities and increases the focus on the client's perspective. Narrative Therapy is another tool she draws on to examine the stories people tell about themselves. Rewriting parts of those stories can reduce shame and open different options for action. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Erica will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. The plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since those details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days. They can also support brief check-ins, focused skill practice, or longer weekly sessions depending on what the therapist and client agree will help.Areas of expertise
