About Erica

Erica Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. She draws on years of social work experience to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and trauma. Erica aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk through hard things and feel heard.

She approaches sessions with a listening-first attitude. People who work with her often find she is steady and empathetic. Erica focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes. She emphasizes respect for each person's pace and lived experience.

Erica blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative techniques. That means she centers the person’s goals while helping them notice unhelpful thoughts and rewrite stressful stories from their life. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when those fit the situation.

Her background includes more than a decade in social work roles across different settings. She holds the credential LCSW and the CSW credential and has four years in the clinical role described here. Her experience includes work with sexual assault survivors, people facing addiction, parenting concerns, caregiving stress, and issues related to aging and hospice.

If someone wants to start, Erica asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on her availability. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Sessions are arranged through the site's scheduling process.

How Erica Matches Approach to Online Therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows your lead, listens carefully, and helps you decide what matters most in therapy. This is useful for people who need a steady, empathetic presence during change or loss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that lead to distress and try different ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and practice between sessions.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Together the therapist and person identify alternative ways to frame difficult experiences so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow evening or weekend scheduling. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do more skills practice between meetings, helping therapy fit into everyday routines.
