About Erika

Erika Young is a licensed professional counselor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and offers steady support as someone makes the first move toward feeling better. Erika treats each person as an expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape reactions and relationships.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when practical tools for thinking and coping are needed. In sessions she listens for what matters most and uses clear, straightforward strategies.

Clients can expect conversations that explore feelings, identify small changes, and practice skills between meetings. Erika aims for realistic steps that fit day-to-day life rather than overwhelming homework. With nine years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, she has worked with a range of common concerns related to mood and adjustment.

Her approach is collaborative - clients set goals and she helps map ways to reach them. Erika practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She supports therapy by phone, video calls, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering different ways to connect depending on what feels most manageable for each person.

Online support

How emotional work and practical skills translate online

Erika uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings that drive their reactions, which can be useful for grief, anxiety, and relationship strain. She also brings in Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's own goals and priorities, allowing conversations to follow what matters most to the person.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing more on emotions in some weeks and practicing CBT or DBT-style coping tools in others, based on what the client wants to try.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options help bring consistent support into day-to-day life without long travel times.
