About Erika
Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Erika also supports people facing life changes, identity and multicultural concerns, and issues like abandonment or impulsivity.
She values a direct, respectful working relationship. Erika aims to build trust so clients can talk through difficult thoughts and emotions. Honesty and clear communication are central to how she works together with clients.
Erika uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral methods and client-centered listening. She combines those with existential ideas about meaning and choice, and motivational interviewing to help people move toward their goals. Sessions focus on short-term problem solving when useful and on exploring deeper patterns when that fits the client's needs.
In practice she encourages curiosity and plain speech. Conversations often include concrete tools for regulating strong feelings, checking unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication with others. Erika will also help people weigh options and set small, achievable steps forward.
People who come for help with anger often want ways to pause before reacting, to feel less resentful, or to manage workplace frustration. Erika works with each person to identify what is getting in the way and to build skills that are practical and repeatable in daily life.
How sessions work
Approach choices and working online
Erika commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce stress and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions and feel understood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people move from thinking about change to taking concrete steps. That approach is practical for goals like reducing impulsive reactions or following through on new coping strategies. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Erika and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust as they learn what works best.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where their anger or stress typically shows up. Erika will help match the pace and methods to the client's needs and schedule.
