About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. She creates an affirming space for those navigating trauma, addiction concerns, and questions about sexuality. Erika pays close attention to each person’s goals and comfort level in therapy.
She draws on nine years of clinical experience in Michigan to guide practical change. Her work often focuses on improving communication, managing panic and social anxiety, and building tools for daily coping. Erika also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and grief.
Adoption and foster care appear among the issues she focuses on, and she offers support for caregivers coping with strain. She also addresses substance use concerns and other addictions through motivational strategies and structured skill building.
Erika uses client-centered techniques to reflect what clients need in the moment. She pairs this with cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing are added when people want targeted steps and encouragement to change.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while staying compassionate. Erika works with each person to set clear, manageable goals and adjusts methods as needed. This practical, collaborative style is meant to help people move forward from where they are.
How her approaches translate to online care
Erika blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit many people’s everyday needs. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person’s priorities, with the therapist reflecting and listening so clients can explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That collaborative discussion guides whether to emphasize skill-building, motivational interviewing, or short-term solution-focused steps.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not detailed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a workday or between responsibilities. Some formats also let people use sessions without video if that helps them engage more comfortably. Verify the available session types when you schedule to make sure they match your needs.
