About Erika
Erika Young is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths that can be used to address difficult situations.
Background and approach
Her emphasis is on empowering clients to build resilience and find practical ways to move toward a more satisfying life. With nine years of experience, Erika tailors sessions to meet individual needs, drawing from client-centered methods alongside evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering guidance while centering the client's goals and pace. Erika recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to create a supportive, respectful environment for that work.
Clients can expect a compassionate clinician who prioritizes collaboration and skill-building. Whether someone is navigating loss, managing persistent worry, or rebuilding confidence after change, Erika combines listening with practical strategies to help translate insights into day-to-day coping and growth.
Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Erika commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy into her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors so clients can reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and develop practical coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in discovering their own solutions by centering their values and strengths.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Erika collaborates with each client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend methods over time to match what is most helpful for progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy with Erika is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing care, work on skill building between sessions, and maintain continuity during life transitions or busy routines.
