About Erika
Erika Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression, or major life changes. Erika approaches each person with respect and believes they already have strengths to build on.
She frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s experience guides the work. Erika uses practical techniques to reduce day-to-day symptoms and to strengthen coping skills.
How Erika works
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on steps they can try between meetings. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience working with adults facing emotional and life transitions. That experience informs a flexible approach that adjusts to each person’s needs.
Erika blends structured methods with warm, person-focused listening. In sessions she emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotion regulation skills, and reconnect with personal values and goals.
Erika supports clients as they practice new ways of handling stress and loss. People who meet with her can expect clear goals, practical tools, and regular check-ins on progress. She encourages honest conversation and sets a pace that feels manageable.
The aim is to leave therapy feeling steadier and more able to handle life’s next steps.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping the person notice strengths and choices that already exist.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems going by accident.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That can mean starting with one method and adding others as needed, and clients are involved in those decisions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of specific skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when written communication feels clearer.
These options make it possible to try different formats and find a rhythm that works for daily life and learning new coping tools.
