01About Erika
Erika Williams helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports concerns related to relationships, parenting, intimacy, ADHD, and LGBT issues. Erika is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she works from Louisiana with over 10 years of experience.
Her style is direct and quietly curious. She focuses on building a trusting working relationship where people can name what feels hard and what they want to change.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at small steps that add up over time. Erika uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered listening to understand someone’s experience and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Solution-focused and motivational techniques help people set realistic goals and stay motivated between sessions. When trauma or past hurt is present, she brings attention to safety and pacing so conversations move at a manageable speed. She also addresses everyday problems like communication struggles, commitment fears, parenting stress, and challenges after separation or divorce.
Erika values honesty, curiosity, and respect in the therapy room. She aims to help people notice patterns that hold them back and find practical ways to move forward. Her work is collaborative, and she supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.
People can expect clear goals, gentle challenge, and an emphasis on choices that fit their life. Erika often blends techniques rather than relying on a single method, so sessions focus on what helps most in the moment.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what matters most to them; it's useful for building trust and exploring values and identity. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and may blend approaches as needs change over time. Clients are invited to share preferences and try techniques to see what feels most helpful.
Online work via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and maintain steady progress.
