About Erika
Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, and questions around identity and life purpose. She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients in English.
Erika focuses on building a respectful, honest relationship. She believes that a steady connection makes it easier to talk about painful or confusing topics.
Background and approach
Sessions are a place to name what feels hard and try small, clear steps that make a difference. Her style is straightforward and curious. She listens without judgment and uses practical tools when they help.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and on Client-Centered Therapy to meet each person where they are. Erika also brings ideas from Existential Therapy to help people find meaning and from Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation wavers. Solution-Focused ideas are used for concrete goals and quick, usable strategies.
With ten years of experience across varied settings, she has worked with a wide range of concerns. People who come to her often want clearer communication, better anger management, more stable mood, or help moving through major life changes.
Getting started involves a short intake and picking a session format that fits the person’s routine, such as video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore what matters most. It helps with emotional overwhelm, identity concerns, and building self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with a few CBT tools, leaning into Client-Centered conversations, or combining approaches as progress unfolds.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and have longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the eyes. Live chat or text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and support between longer appointments. These options let people choose what works best for scheduling, energy, and communication style.
