Erica Lackey

Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of experience. She previously spent nine years working as a school counselor. Erica helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and life changes, and she also supports those exploring career questions and life purpose.

Erica uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She centers sessions on how problems show up day to day and what practical steps can reduce distress. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to find small, actionable changes.

Her background in schools shapes a practical, goal-oriented style. She often helps clients who feel stuck by breaking issues into manageable pieces. Topics she commonly addresses include relationship and family stress, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and caregiver strain.

Sessions focus on clear goals and measurable progress rather than abstract promises. Erica and the client map what matters, try strategies in ordinary life, and review what helped. That pattern repeats until the client feels better able to make decisions or try next steps.

People who seek Erica often want a direct, conversational approach and concrete tools they can use between meetings. She asks questions, offers feedback, and adjusts plans based on what actually works in the client’s life.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can talk through what matters. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist mirror concerns, clarify priorities, and help clients name what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines thoughts and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going. In an online setting CBT sessions often include homework and brief practical exercises to try between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what is already working; online meetings can quickly set concrete goals and track short-term progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erica will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and preferences. She uses that conversation to decide which methods to try and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in practice. That collaborative process continues as goals change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is in flux. Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, try brief midweek updates, or complete exercises between meetings without extra travel.
