About Erika
Erika Lindgren is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Erika also addresses issues around self-esteem, sexuality, LGBT matters, and life changes including adoption and foster care.
Erika uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens and helps people name patterns that fuel outbursts or simmering resentment. She works on communication skills so frustration at home or work can be expressed without snapping. She also supports people navigating loss, postpartum changes, and seasonal mood shifts.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are unsure about changing habits around substances or other behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and notice progress between sessions.
Sessions aim to build concrete tools for coping with anger and related stressors. That can mean practicing phrases to use in heated moments, developing short calming routines, or planning steps to reduce triggers at work. Erika helps people weigh practical options and practice them in session.
She also pays attention to past trauma and how it affects current reactions. When trauma or grief is present, she integrates strategies to stabilize emotions and make room for processing at a pace the client chooses. The overall focus is on clear skills and steady progress rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Erika commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building a trusting working relationship, which helps people feel heard as they talk about anger and its roots. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger patterns going and offers clear experiments and exercises to try different responses.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Erika will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means checking what helps in day-to-day life, setting short goals, and adjusting techniques based on what actually reduces tension or improves communication.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between work or caregiving responsibilities and bring real-life situations into discussion without a long commute. The practical aim is to slot therapeutic work into everyday routines so skills can be tested where they matter most.
