About Erika
Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make people feel heard when they first reach out. Erika often works with people facing anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, and the fallout of trauma.
Her experience spans government, nonprofit, and hospital settings. She has supported many women coping with homelessness, addiction, parenting stress, and childhood sexual and emotional trauma.
Background and approach
That background informs how she sees safety, stability, and gradual progress as central to change. Erika uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new actions. She also draws on client-centered and trauma-focused ideas when someone needs space to be listened to and to process painful events.
She adjusts her approach to match each person's situation and goals. In sessions she aims for an honest, welcoming tone. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through difficult feelings in the room.
Erika encourages realistic goals and small experiments to test what helps. People who work with her can expect straightforward conversation about coping skills, relationship patterns, and life changes. She frames therapy as a partnership and invites people to shape the work based on what feels most useful to them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Erika uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused perspectives to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience, which helps people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or depression. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful events in a paced way that reduces their hold over daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erika talks with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn’t.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit a break during the day or when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people track thoughts and practice skills between meetings. These options give flexibility to match therapy to a busy life while keeping a steady path toward change.
