01About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. She practices in Michigan and uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients feel heard and make manageable changes. Erika focuses on creating an affirming atmosphere for people exploring sexuality and related stresses.
She works with clients dealing with grief, trauma, postpartum struggles, mood swings, and panic. Conversations center on real problems and clear goals rather than clinical jargon.
Background and approach
Her style blends person-focused listening with strategies that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses brief, goal-oriented techniques and motivational approaches to support recovery from substance use and to increase follow-through on life changes. Sessions often include skill building for communication, emotion regulation, and relapse prevention.
Erika brings nine years of clinical experience as an LPC to her practice. That background informs practical tools for managing seasonal mood shifts, bipolar symptoms, and self-harm urges when those issues come up. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care, and caregivers who are overwhelmed by stress.
In appointments clients can expect a collaborative plan and concrete next steps. Erika helps people identify strengths, set realistic goals, and practice small changes between sessions. Her aim is steady progress that fits each person’s pace and priorities.

How Erika’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's lead and validates their experience. This approach helps when someone needs an affirming space to talk about sexuality, identity, caregiving stress, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and mood symptoms because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ready to change but feel stuck, such as in addiction recovery or lifestyle shifts. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and plan achievable next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest a plan and adjust methods over time so the work fits the client's needs and pace.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching coping skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, on-the-spot coping ideas, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
