About Erika
Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, and anger. Erika often supports people facing life changes, career uncertainty, and problems with self-esteem.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Argosy University. Much of her work has been with women who have experienced homelessness, addiction, depression, codependency, and childhood sexual or emotional trauma. Her background includes roles in local government, nonprofit organizations, and hospital settings.
Erika uses a straightforward, client-centered style. She focuses on creating a setting where people can talk honestly about what they are going through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often shapes her sessions, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between meetings.
When trauma is part of the picture, Erika draws on trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories and their ongoing effects. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want action-oriented help with goals like parenting, career direction, or reducing substance use.
People meet with her to talk through communication problems, control issues, commitment questions, and tangled family dynamics. She helps clients sort through guilt, shame, isolation, and forgiveness work, and she supports those learning to manage anger in healthier ways.
How sessions work
Approaches and how online sessions can fit daily life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people who need space to say what matters and to choose goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and emphasizes practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress management.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of painful events on current behavior and feelings. It aims to reduce the ways past experiences keep causing harm and to teach coping skills for triggers and flashbacks. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time around work or family commitments. It also makes it possible to continue seeing a licensed professional while managing life transitions and scheduling constraints.
