About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Erica keeps language simple and focuses on practical next steps so parents and individuals can feel understood quickly.
Before becoming an LPC, Erica spent nine years working as a school counselor. That experience shaped how she talks with people - calm, direct, and focused on everyday solutions.
Background and approach
She draws on four years of LPC practice to support people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career uncertainty. Erica creates a space where feelings and worries can be said out loud without judgment. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation instead of following a one-size-fits-all script.
Sessions aim to make problems more manageable and to build clearer routines and coping skills. Her work covers a broad range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses specific family-related topics like blended family issues, divorce and separation, and parent-focused stress.
Erica uses a mix of practical, goal-focused techniques and client-centered listening. That combination is meant to help people set short-term goals and make steady progress toward them. She encourages starting small and building routines that fit daily life.
How Erica’s Approaches Work Online
Erica uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person. That approach means listening closely, reflecting what you say, and shaping sessions around your priorities and pace. It helps when people want a place to talk things through and feel heard.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to help people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT includes short exercises and practical tools to change thinking and daily routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. Solution-Focused Therapy is another part of her work and is aimed at setting small, concrete goals. That approach looks for strengths and past successes to build doable steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Erica will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit each person’s needs. Over a few sessions she and the client will adjust focus to what is most useful and realistic.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for people with busy days. Video calls let you work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions and live chat can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in works best. Text-based messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. Together, these options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines.
