About Erica

Erica Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and direct conversations toward clear next steps.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then helps clients set realistic goals. Erica believes clients know their own stories, and she helps them use their strengths to move forward.

Background and approach

Erica draws from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods. She also uses client-centered techniques and motivational interviewing to support change. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, shifts in life circumstances, and coping needs.

Sessions tend to be practical and skills-focused. She works to identify small, doable changes that build momentum over time. Conversations may include learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing mindfulness exercises.

With nine years of experience as a social worker, Erica brings a calm, direct presence to her work. Her goal is to help clients clarify what matters, set achievable steps, and feel steadier as they navigate life changes. She welcomes parents and adults seeking support related to family and parenting matters.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment; it helps people feel heard and guides them to make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to support strong coping during crises.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences, trying different strategies and adjusting as needed. Together they set clear, achievable steps and track what works over time.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule and to keep continuity during life changes. Many clients find the variety of online tools makes it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to check in when support is needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
