About Erika

Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related life changes.

Erika focuses on building a working relationship where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She asks direct questions and listens for patterns in how someone thinks and acts. Sessions tend to focus on specific problems and small experiments clients can try between meetings.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and existential approaches. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, weigh them against evidence, and try different responses. She also invites honest reflection about values, choices, and what gives life meaning.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her toolkit when clients want clear next steps. These methods help break large problems into manageable goals and build motivation to make changes. Practical tools and brief homework are commonly used to track progress.

Erika has worked in a range of settings with diverse people. She emphasizes straightforward conversation, curiosity, and honest feedback. People who prefer a structured, goal-focused approach with room for deeper reflection may find this style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Erika commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which works well in short focused exercises and action plans. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflective conversation to clarify what matters to the client and to build trust.

Existential ideas may also be used to discuss values, meaning, and life choices when those topics come up. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques based on what the client finds useful.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try exercises and homework from the place they live, which can help apply skills to everyday situations.
