Erica Lackey , LPC

Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. Before becoming an LPC, she spent nine years working in school settings as a school counselor, bringing a background in educational support and youth-focused care to her current practice.

She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and depression. Erica approaches each person as an individual and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit unique circumstances and goals. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can take courage, Erica affirms clients for taking that step and seeks to collaborate with them on practical strategies and insight-driven work. She looks forward to supporting clients as they navigate life changes, strengthen relationships, and build coping skills to improve day-to-day functioning.

Client-Focused Approaches for Effective Online Support

Erica draws from client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of each session. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening, helping individuals clarify values, increase self-awareness, and address challenges such as low self-esteem, relationship strain, or major life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for problem solving, mood regulation, and behavioral change.

Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on goals, strengths, and small, achievable steps. This brief, goal-oriented approach can be especially useful for clients seeking focused progress on specific concerns like career decisions, parenting strategies, or coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a licensed professional, Erica collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and support consistent progress when in-person visits are not practical.
