About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 25 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, grief, and trauma in a straightforward, respectful way. He aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who might be nervous about starting therapy.
Elrick creates a calm space where people can talk about hard things without judgment. He listens closely to individual stories and works at a person’s pace.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. His background includes long-term work with clients facing mood concerns like depression and bipolar issues, relationship and intimacy struggles, and self-esteem problems. He also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, career transitions, and the stress of caregiving.
Elrick uses approaches that fit the person in front of him. He draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in what matters to each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when clients want concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
He also incorporates mindfulness and motivational techniques to help people build small daily practices and stay focused on their goals. Hypnotherapy is another option he offers for clients interested in deeper relaxation or habit change. Together, these methods aim to reduce anger, improve coping skills, and restore a sense of control over life changes.

Approaches That Translate Well Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to build attention and calm, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time as progress and comfort levels become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when they prefer it. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a short break. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or busy family life.
