About Erica
Erica Kesse, LPC-MHSP, focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves and find steadiness during hard times. She encourages slowing down, noticing emotions, and learning to care for oneself. Her approach centers on supporting clients through life changes and painful feelings with practical encouragement and clear steps.
With nine years of experience, Erica blends client-centered work with other tools to meet each person’s needs. She pays attention to a person's mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and professional life. That lets her help people align different parts of life and build stronger daily routines and supports.
Erica often helps people dealing with relationship concerns, career stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. She also works with people navigating grief around fertility, communication challenges, blended family stress, financial worries, and multicultural dynamics. Practical coaching around life purpose and professional goals is part of her practice.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She describes her work as collaborative and adaptable, matching methods to what a person needs in the moment.
Erica practices in Tennessee and lists English as the language she uses in sessions. She accepts international clients, and she guides people toward building social supports and actionable steps so they feel steadier in daily life.
How Erica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following a person's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters to the client, offering empathy, and helping people name what they need. This approach helps when life feels overwhelming or decisions are unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Erica uses CBT techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. It can help people tackle career decisions, communication problems, or quick changes they want to make.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Clients and therapist collaborate to adjust the approach as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people continue care if they relocate or are outside the therapist’s local area.
