About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on a background in school counseling and several years of clinical practice to support clients who are coping with trauma, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and career concerns.
Erica spent nine years working as a school counselor before becoming an LPC and has four years of experience in her current role. That mix of settings informs a practical style focused on everyday problems. Sessions aim to be straightforward and compassionate so people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
Her approach is collaborative. Erica listens first, then helps clients identify goals and steps they can try between meetings. She uses methods that focus on current difficulties, thought patterns, and practical solutions, tailoring each plan to a person’s needs.
Conversations often cover coping skills for stress and anxiety, ways to manage mood and parenting demands, and strategies for navigating relationship or work-related challenges. She also addresses issues like ADHD, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work.
Erica encourages people to take steady, realistic steps toward change. She recognizes starting therapy can feel hard and aims to make the process clear and manageable. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building a respectful, listening relationship. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to shift them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want practical strategies and step-by-step changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and small, actionable steps. This approach is often used when someone wants to quickly identify what will help and try concrete changes between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick or combine methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make continuity easier after a busy week. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools so sessions work with everyday life rather than interrupt it.
