About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain steadiness when panic, worry, or low mood get in the way of daily life.
Erika offers a warm, affirming space where clients set the pace. She listens without judgment and works with each person to identify what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clear, manageable strategies rather than long lectures or medical jargon.
Her work draws on client-centered methods to center the person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice thought and behavior patterns and to try small changes that make a difference. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when addiction or stuck habits are part of the picture.
Erika also uses solution-focused tools to build immediate, practical steps for common problems. She supports people navigating postpartum mood shifts, adoption and foster care challenges, grief, and trauma responses. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns she addresses.
With nine years of experience, Erika blends straightforward skill-teaching with an empathetic stance. The goal is to help people develop better coping, clearer communication, and greater confidence in managing stressors over time.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Erika commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping each person set goals that feel meaningful to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative conversation guides whether CBT techniques, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps are emphasized in sessions.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that is most helpful. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if they prefer less bandwidth or need a low-tech option. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to find session arrangements that fit daily life and treatment goals.
