About Erica
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience, Erica Ashley focuses on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, family and parenting issues, and trauma-related difficulties. She works in a client-centered way and uses practical strategies to help people manage daily challenges and emotional pain.
Erica emphasizes working from strengths. She starts by identifying what a person already does well. From there she helps set clear, achievable goals and chooses methods that fit those goals. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused rather than prescriptive.
Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to help with problems such as panic, depression, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and relationship conflict. Erica draws on techniques suited to each person’s situation.
She also addresses practical family matters like blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, and communication problems. Topics such as body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions are part of her scope. Erica notes experience with bipolar disorder, personality issues, phobias, and social anxiety among other concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and operate under a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session through the platform.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals with the person. In an online session that means the therapist will ask about priorities and tailor sessions around the client’s stated aims. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions often include homework, skill practice, and short actionable exercises for everyday life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can be taught in brief lessons and practiced between sessions to manage strong emotions. Erica will collaborate with each person to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. Figuring out the right match is part of the early work together.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, worksheets, and homework to an online setting so skill-building continues between sessions.
