01About Erma
Dr. Erma Croom welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully.
Her approach centers on helping each person make small, practical changes that fit their life and goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, Dr. Croom has three years of professional experience.
She focuses on helping people cope after trauma or abuse, manage panic and social anxiety, and work through relationship concerns and issues around identity.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing addiction, parenting stress, career questions, and challenges with self-esteem. In sessions she aims to build an atmosphere where clients can speak freely without feeling judged. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what’s happening now and what can be done next.
She encourages clients to name their priorities and try practical steps between meetings. Dr. Croom also works with people dealing with divorce and separation, first responder stress, grief near the end of life, and complex feelings such as guilt, shame, or infidelity.
She recognizes how cultural background and life purpose shape a person’s struggles and choices. Therapy with her is collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them find workable tools.
For many, the goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and more confidence in day-to-day decisions.

Practical approaches and online support
Dr. Croom uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and workable skills. One common approach helps people learn to notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anxiety and depression active; sessions include short exercises and experiments to try between meetings. Another approach centers on processing trauma and strong emotions in manageable steps, helping clients reduce the intensity of painful memories and regain daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their goals, pace, and preferences so care feels collaborative and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a longer conversational flow. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when a shorter exchange fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping sessions focused and practical.
