About Erika
Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and stress-related problems.
She uses straightforward talk and concrete steps in sessions. Erika draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change habits that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered ideas to listen and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects daily life.
Much of her work has been with women impacted by homelessness, addiction, childhood sexual and emotional trauma, and codependency. She has worked in local government, nonprofit organizations, and hospital settings. That range informs how she breaks problems into manageable pieces and builds practical coping skills.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small experiments people can try between meetings. Erika talks through patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships and suggests specific strategies to test in real life. Progress is tracked in simple, observable ways rather than vague promises.
She emphasizes practical supports for parents, caregivers, and people facing life changes such as divorce or job transitions. Erika also assists with issues like grief, anger, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She offers care in English and practices in Georgia.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which often fits well with short exercises and homework that people can try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy underpins how she listens and responds, prioritizing the person's own goals and preferences. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses past harm with structured support when trauma is a key issue.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will discuss goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, and then work jointly to try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what is most helpful in practice.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or travel, and can allow for brief check-ins or exercises that do not require long commutes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
