About Erika
Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as addiction, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, trauma, and anger. Erika focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She became interested in counseling after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Argosy University. Much of her work has been with women facing addiction, homelessness, depression, and the effects of childhood sexual and emotional trauma. Her background includes roles in local government, nonprofit organizations, and hospital settings.
Erika’s approach is primarily cognitive behavioral therapy, with a client-centered stance and attention to trauma-focused care when needed. She tends to use clear, direct conversation and practical exercises to address thinking patterns, coping skills, and behavior changes. Sessions typically include setting goals, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and practicing alternative responses.
People often seek her help for problems that build up over time - resentment, repeated arguments, or difficulty managing strong feelings. She also supports those dealing with grief, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions. Her work includes attention to communication problems, commitment concerns, and issues tied to family of origin.
Erika works in English and does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and priorities, which can make online sessions feel focused and practical.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions often include homework like tracking thoughts or trying short behavior experiments between meetings to reduce anger and reactivity.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the ways past harm shapes present reactions. In an online setting this can mean pacing discussions, using grounding skills, and practicing coping strategies that reduce overwhelm before addressing deeper memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, trauma-focused techniques, a client-centered stance, or a mix best fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online appointments helpful because they can fit into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when days are busy. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling and how sessions can fit into everyday life.
