About Erma
Dr. Erma Croom greets people with a calm, direct style that aims to help them manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She uses straightforward conversation to make sense of painful experiences.
Her work focuses on what a person needs right now and on practical steps that can help them feel steadier. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Georgia with three years of professional experience. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and offers support while people name their goals and next steps.
How Erma works
Sessions are meant to be a space to say things out loud and try new ways of coping. Her caseload includes people dealing with trauma and abuse, panic and post-traumatic stress, addictions, and the fallout of breakup or infidelity. She also helps people facing life transitions, career doubts, parenting strain, and questions about identity or relationships.
Concerns such as guilt, shame, multicultural stress, and end-of-life matters are part of her work. Dr. Croom aims to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day coping.
Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on small, tangible changes. She listens for patterns that keep problems alive and explores different ways to interrupt them. People who prefer plain language and practical guidance often find her approach helpful.
She supports clients in building self-compassion and clearer decision making. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Croom uses clear, evidence-based techniques that translate well to online settings. One approach focuses on stabilizing symptoms through practical coping skills such as grounding, breathing, and activity scheduling to reduce panic, anxiety, and low mood. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful memories at a pace the client can manage, which helps reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions over time. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Croom will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust what isn’t working. Together they decide which techniques to focus on and when to move onto new strategies. Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and more direct conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep a steady thread of support between appointments and can fit into breaks at work or tight schedules. These formats make it possible to continue therapy without travel and to connect with a licensed professional from different locations.Start online instead of waiting
