About Erika
Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her practice also addresses ADHD, LGBT concerns, and a range of family-related stresses.
Erika builds a therapeutic alliance as the starting point for work. She treats the counseling relationship as the place where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are straightforward and direct. Honesty and clear communication are expected components of the process.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and existential ideas. That means she listens for what matters to the person, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and considers questions about meaning and values. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals and motivational interviewing to support change.
In sessions she encourages curiosity and practical problem solving. Clients can expect a mix of reflective conversation and concrete skill work. Topics often include communication problems, blended family concerns, commitment issues, and coping with life changes like separation or addiction recovery.
Erika accepts international clients and conducts work in English. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own insights. Online sessions can recreate that listening by giving time for reflection, coaching, and open conversation about family and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In online sessions this often looks like talking through specific situations, trying short behavioral experiments between meetings, and working on clearer communication strategies at home.
Existential therapy raises questions about values, meaning, and life choices. That approach can help people facing major life transitions, identity questions, or decisions around relationships and parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, adjusting techniques based on the person's goals, preferences, and progress.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm options before booking. Many people choose online sessions for practical reasons - they can fit a meeting into a workday, avoid travel time, or pick a shorter check-in when needed. Online conversations can combine reflective talk and concrete homework just as in-person work does, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to fit everyday life.
