About Erica

Erica Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia who brings a client-centered, practical approach to therapy.

Background and approach

With four years of formal clinical experience as an LCSW and a CSW credential (GA LCSW CSW007723), she focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Erica emphasizes attentive listening and an empathetic presence while drawing on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work.

Her style aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult feelings and develop clearer coping skills. Erica offers flexible communication formats and works with each person to identify goals and steps that fit their daily life.

She evaluates what approaches feel most helpful for an individual's situation and adapts her work to meet practical needs, whether addressing stress and ADHD-related concerns, addiction and recovery issues, caregiver strain, or challenges related to sexuality and women's health. Erica welcomes those seeking steady, collaborative support as they work toward meaningful change.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work

Erica uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related symptoms. CBT typically involves collaborative exercises and behavior-focused strategies that aim to produce measurable changes in daily routines and emotional responses.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings at their own pace. Narrative therapy is another tool she may use to help people reframe personal stories and separate problems from identity, which can be useful for issues like trauma, grief, and shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Erica partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so treatment fits each person's situation. This collaborative stance helps determine which combination of techniques will best support progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients and licensed professionals to focus on practical strategies and goal-focused therapy regardless of location.
