About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of post-licensure experience. She greets people who are worried about stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, grief, or life changes and helps them take the first steps forward. Erica writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard during early conversations.
Before becoming an LPC, Erica spent nine years as a school counselor. That background shaped her practical focus on problem solving and clear communication. She has worked with a broad mix of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiving stress, and issues tied to attachment and family dynamics.
In session she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space for talking through what matters most. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs rather than using one set approach for everyone. Erica combines client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to address thoughts, behaviors, and immediate goals.
Erica emphasizes small, achievable steps. That can mean learning coping skills for anxiety, practicing new ways to communicate, or setting short-term goals for better daily routines. She supports people who want help making sense of past hurts and moving toward healthier patterns.
Erica welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into daily life and encourages people to take the matching questionnaire to begin. She works in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people name what matters and decide steps to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, often useful for anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete goals and what works now, which can be helpful for people seeking quick, actionable change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in, trying methods, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
