About Erica

Erica Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming. She writes in a calm, straightforward way and invites people to consider whether her style might match their needs. Erica brings four years of direct clinical experience as an LCSW and additional time working in social services.

She has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes work related to trauma, sexual assault and abuse, LGBTQ issues, and caregiving concerns. She centers sessions on listening first and then working together to set clear goals. Erica uses practical methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused approaches.

Sessions often focus on small, concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Erica aims to provide a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. She emphasizes collaboration, honesty, and respect for each person's pace.

Her style is calm and direct, and she prioritizes helping clients find manageable strategies for daily life. Erica offers sessions in a range of formats to fit busy schedules. She commonly communicates in the evenings and on weekends, and checks messages at least once per day.

If someone feels her approach could be a fit, she invites them to begin the intake and matching process.

Approaches in online care and what to expect

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It centers the person's experience and helps them name priorities for change and healing.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change how they respond to stress, anxiety, or ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will discuss options and collaborate on a plan based on a person's goals, preferences, and how they react to different techniques. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends and to keep momentum when life gets busy.
