About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of experience as an LPC. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and issues around guilt and shame.
Before becoming an LPC Erica spent nine years as a school counselor. That experience shaped how she talks with people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now and what practical steps might help next.
Erica uses client-centered conversation to learn what matters most to each person. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused tools are used to build simple, concrete steps toward goals people set in session.
In meetings she listens for patterns linked to attachment, communication problems, control issues, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with blended family struggles, caregiver stress, first responder pressures, and life transitions such as separation and career change.
People who start work with Erica typically set short-term, practical goals alongside deeper themes like forgiveness, self-worth, and coping with shame. She will work with each client to shape a plan that fits their situation and priorities.
How Erica’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs a clear, nonjudgmental place to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns of guilt or shame because it helps people test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what a person wants to achieve next. It is often used alongside other methods to set short-term goals and track progress.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust those choices as work unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who need quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals tailor session length and focus to what fits the client’s day-to-day routine.
