About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She makes space for honest conversations and practical problem solving in a calm, direct way. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so clients can focus on small steps that make daily life easier.
Erika uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage panic, social anxiety, mood shifts, and trauma reactions.
Background and approach
She often works with issues connected to grief, postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and self-harm urges. She also supports questions about sexuality, LGBTQ matters, and women's health concerns in therapy conversations. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.
Erika helps clients practice communication strategies, build coping plans, and try new behaviors that reduce overwhelm. Motivational techniques are used when someone is facing addiction or substance use choices and needs help deciding next steps. Erika brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice and draws on both client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral strategies.
That experience informs a practical focus on what will change daily routines and improve mood. She tailors plans to each person's strengths and life demands. People who choose Erika can expect a collaborative relationship that balances empathy with actionable tasks.
Her approach is steady and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move toward clearer priorities.
Online approaches that aim for practical change
Erika commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard while they set their own goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is tracked and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues when discussing emotional material, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, brief coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity when schedules change.
