About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and anger. He also supports concerns such as depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and career stress.
Nelson focuses on straightforward, conversational work. He invites clients to talk through what they are feeling and what gets in the way of daily life. Sessions center on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. He aims to create a place where people can speak honestly about shame, loss, or mounting frustration.
He uses several approaches to match the issue at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports changing thought and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's goals and pace. He also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing for goals such as reducing substance use or building coping skills.
Nelson’s work often addresses anger that shows up at home, at work, or after loss. He helps clients notice triggers, test different responses, and practice new habits in small steps. He also supports people handling the effects of trauma and addiction without using jargon.
People who choose him usually want practical tools and direct conversation. To begin, he asks a few basic questions and then plans the first session to fit the client's concerns and schedule.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's goals and pace. Online sessions using this approach let the client set topics and shape the work while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; online work often includes short practice tasks and worksheets to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills that can be practiced during a session and used in daily stress moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with the client to decide which methods match current goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people have a shorter check-in when needed. They also allow work on written exercises and mindfulness practice between meetings to strengthen new habits.
