About Erika

Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years working in behavioral health. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and major life changes. Erika aims to make the first steps less scary and more practical for someone seeking help.

She works in a straightforward, warm way. Sessions are meant to be honest and supportive. Erika listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the pace to match what they can handle.

Background and approach

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a master’s degree in professional counseling from Argosy University. Work history includes roles in local government, nonprofit programs, and hospital settings. That variety informs how she helps people navigate complex problems.

Erika often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also draws on client-centered and trauma-focused approaches when a gentler or trauma-informed path fits better. The goal is practical change that fits everyday life.

Many clients come for help with relationship struggles, parenting strain, codependency, grief, or career stress. She also supports people facing addiction, homelessness, or long-term effects of childhood trauma. Erika encourages small, steady steps toward clearer goals and better daily routines.

Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on skills you can practice between sessions. People who prefer clear tools and honest conversation tend to find this approach helpful.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist provides a nonjudgmental space and follows the client’s concerns to support insight and personal growth. This approach is helpful for people who need empathy and acceptance while they find direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping with stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past trauma by approaching difficult memories carefully and with specific strategies. It helps people reduce the hold of painful experiences and learn safer ways to manage triggers and strong emotions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most workable. Together they choose or blend approaches and adjust them as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls let people use face-to-face time when needed, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or brief check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
