About Erica
Erica Kesse is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She invites people to slow down, notice their feelings, and learn ways to care for themselves. Her style blends encouragement with practical steps so people can begin to feel steadier in everyday life.
Erica frames work around person-centered care, starting from the client’s own experience and goals. She draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs, and uses clear, direct language during sessions. The focus is on building resources, strengthening relationships, and easing patterns that cause ongoing stress or pain.
She brings nine years of counseling experience to concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, career changes, and LGBT matters. Erica also lists panic disorder and panic attacks among her focus areas, and she helps people learn skills to manage sudden anxiety and regain control in triggering moments.
Additional areas Erica addresses include autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, fertility stress, caregiver strain, and issues related to sexuality and alternative relationship structures. She works with people on life purpose, money and financial stress, and the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
In sessions clients can expect straightforward collaboration about goals, step-by-step strategies, and attention to the whole life context including work and relationships. She encourages building social supports and practical accountability so changes carry into daily routines.
How Erica’s approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their pace. It helps people who need acceptance, validation, and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and panic-related reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erica collaborates with clients to identify goals, then tests strategies and adapts methods based on what helps most. That means sessions may involve talking, skill practice, or brief homework between meetings to track progress together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue care while traveling or juggling work and family, though specific arrangements should be confirmed during scheduling.
