About Erika
Erika Williams-Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. Erika commonly supports people managing grief, stress, ADHD, and career or life changes.
She uses clear, direct conversation in sessions. Erika leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered methods to listen and respond to what each person brings into the room, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when early experiences are a core concern.
Her background includes work in local government, nonprofit organizations, and hospitals. That mix gave practical experience with people in unstable housing, addiction, and serious life stressors. Those roles shaped how she plans goals and supports day-to-day coping skills.
In a typical meeting she helps clients set small, doable steps. She talks through thinking patterns, problem-solving strategies, and communication skills. She helps people practice new responses and checks progress each session.
Erika earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Argosy University. She draws on 18 years of direct practice when working with emotional pain, family conflicts, and the effects of past experiences.
People who come to her often want straightforward tools for anxiety, clearer boundaries in relationships, or help managing mood and addiction issues. She encourages practical planning and ongoing skill building rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. Online sessions using this approach keep attention on the person’s concerns and use reflective conversation to clarify goals and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down worries into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses exercises and homework to try different behaviors; this can work well through talk sessions and shared written worksheets. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past experiences affect current thinking and behavior and uses careful pacing and grounding strategies when those memories are central.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods and pace as work progresses, checking in about what helps and what to change.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to use screen-shared worksheets, written exercises, and regular between-session practice to reinforce skills learned in meetings.
