About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 25 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. He also works with concerns like depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD.
Nelson uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening and figure out next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. He listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people try different responses.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his approach when thinking patterns and behaviors are getting in the way. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing can appear when someone wants better coping or change momentum.
He has worked across a broad range of concerns, including substance-related problems, grief and loss, caregiving stress, body image, and adjustment to major life changes. His practice includes attention to issues that often overlap with anger, such as control, communication, and relationship conflict.
People who choose him often want clear, practical steps and a calm conversational style. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first session. The initial sign-up includes a short questionnaire to clarify goals before the first meeting.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's priorities. It helps when someone needs a focused, respectful conversation about what feels most urgent. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for managing anger triggered by unhelpful thinking and for building alternative responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods and adjust based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means starting with simple tools and seeing what helps in daily life. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose audio instead of video if that suits them better. Licensed professionals can use these options to support consistent progress without asking people to reorganize their whole day.Areas of focus
