About Erica
Erica Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, including panic-related concerns. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach centers on listening first and building a respectful working relationship.
Erica spent nine years as a school counselor before becoming an LPC and has four years of experience in clinical counseling. That background shaped how she talks with parents and adults about everyday pressures, grief, and changes at home or work. She draws on that experience when a client is coping with trauma, parenting strain, relationship challenges, or depression.
In sessions she creates space for people to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation, and goals are set together. Practical tools and short-term strategies are used alongside deeper discussion when needed.
Erica uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective. She also incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to map small, achievable steps toward clearer goals. These approaches are blended to fit what a person wants to work on.
She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. Booking begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability, so people can start at a pace that feels manageable.
How her approaches translate to online care
Erica practices Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that can work well in online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective so sessions feel like a supportive conversation rather than a lecture. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small goals to create visible progress in everyday life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erica works with people to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on how things are going. The first sessions are often about getting clear on priorities and trying small strategies to see what helps.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since those details are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and focus on skill-building between meetings. These practical benefits help people bring therapy work into daily routines without promising any single format or outcome.
