About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use day to day. Erika aims to make the first sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or hurting.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. From there she helps set small, workable goals and identifies habits that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete tools clients can practice between meetings to reduce stress and manage strong emotions. Erika draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape treatment. That means she blends listening with active problem solving and encouragement for change.
The aim is to build skills for coping with anger, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and mood symptoms. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and work with a range of concerns such as postpartum depression, panic attacks, social anxiety, and substance use challenges. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues and caregiver stress.
Erika practices in Michigan as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The intake process begins with a brief questionnaire to match goals and preferences before scheduling.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and make choices that fit their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. This approach uses simple exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or mixed about change. It uses open questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and set realistic next steps for issues like addiction or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about the client's goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they adjust methods and homework so sessions feel practical and relevant.
Online therapy provides flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and worksheets, phone calls can fit into a work break, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports quick reflections or daily progress notes. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice skills between sessions.
