About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of experience as an LPC. She also spent nine years working in schools as a school counselor. Erica helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and ADHD.
Erica focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She asks about the problem you brought and about what a small improvement would look like. Sessions are guided by the client's goals and by clear, observable steps you can try between meetings.
Her background in school counseling shaped a focus on practical support and communication. That experience involved working with a wide range of concerns and with people at different life stages. Erica uses what she learned in schools to help with planning, problem solving, and setting realistic goals.
In session she leans on approaches that center the client's perspective and build skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice patterns of thought and to test new behaviors. Solution-Focused methods help identify immediate steps that make day-to-day life easier.
Erica encourages adults who are carrying the weight of family strain or parenting stress to try a few concrete changes and see what helps. She explains options clearly and checks in on progress. If you choose to move forward, she guides small, manageable steps toward clearer communication and more reliable routines.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Erica uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own perspective. That approach means the conversation follows the client's concerns and priorities, and the therapist listens for what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT is used to identify unhelpful patterns and to try concrete behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate, achievable steps and on what will look different when things improve.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erica treats finding a good fit as a collaborative process. She will ask about your goals and preferences, and suggest one or more approaches to try. Progress is checked together and plans are adjusted when needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around childcare, work, or other obligations. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for longer conversations when a deeper topic needs attention. The point is practical: fit therapy into everyday life in a way that you can keep doing it.
