About Titilayo

Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo helps parents and families facing stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with eight years of experience. Erika focuses on practical support that parents can use between sessions.

Her voice is direct and encouraging, aimed at caregivers juggling many demands. Erika creates an open space where people can talk without judgment. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often include teaching coping skills, building self-care routines, and practicing communication strategies for family relationships. Her background includes outpatient clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home care, and virtual work. She has supported children, adolescents, adults, and older adults from a range of backgrounds.

This variety informs how she adapts approaches for different ages and situations. Erika uses a blend of methods and tailors them to what a family or parent needs most. She draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive techniques, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused work to reduce conflict and improve connection.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Her style is client-centered and strength-based. Sessions emphasize learning practical skills, clarifying goals, and building confidence.

Parents are encouraged and guided toward small, doable steps that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for parents and families online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape behavior and feelings. It helps parents and children understand patterns of closeness and build safer emotional connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep stress and worry going and teaches practical tools to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong feelings, which can reduce conflict and strengthen bonds in families.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or caregiver to learn about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler option when screens are difficult. Live chat and text messaging let parents check in between meetings and get short-term support or reminders about skills. These formats provide flexibility so families can get support in ways that match their routines and needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
