About Erica
Erica Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns. Erica aims to meet people where they are and build goals together in simple, doable steps.
She uses a client-centered approach that starts with listening and identifying a person's strengths. Sessions emphasize respect, compassion, and working toward clear goals.
Background and approach
She also brings cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches to help with patterns of thinking and emotional regulation. Erica incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, often called EMDR, when trauma or upsetting memories are part of the problem. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help changing habits or dealing with addictions and ambivalence.
These methods are offered in ways that match each person's needs and pace. Her work often addresses family and parenting concerns, blended family issues, fatherhood matters, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with grief, life changes, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and finding life purpose.
Erica approaches therapy with a strength-based, holistic view that considers mind, body, and spirit. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly, set clear goals, and try practical tools between sessions.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Erica combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, identifying strengths, and building goals together to make steady progress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change stressful patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be used to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when that is part of someone's healing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit a person's goals, and adjust as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and decide which techniques feel most useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for working with these approaches. Video calls support guided skill practice, in-session exercises, and EMDR-style processing when appropriate. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections between sessions, brief coaching, or progress updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between visits.
