Erica Evans , LCSW, CSW

Erica Evans is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. LCSW indicates advanced training and state licensure to provide psychotherapy, and CSW denotes professional certification in social work practice. She works with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family challenges, addiction, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, and other major life changes.

Her approach blends solution-focused work with client-centered and strengths-based principles, drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques alongside trauma-focused perspectives. She brings empathy and a mindful presence to sessions while also being direct and practical, helping clients translate insight into concrete steps. Erica treats each person with respect and dignity and works from the belief that individuals are the experts of their own stories, with strengths that can be leveraged to overcome obstacles and enact meaningful change.

Erica acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and frames that first step as part of the healing and growth process. She collaborates with clients to identify clear goals and develop realistic plans, offering guidance, encouragement, and strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Erica integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices into online sessions to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration - it helps people explore values, strengthen self-esteem, and make decisions that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with problematic patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for emotion regulation, which can reduce reactivity and support recovery from compassion fatigue and trauma.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Erica works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel heard and involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy with Erica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access consistent support from a licensed therapist regardless of location within Georgia.
