About Erica
Erica Kesse is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She encourages clients to slow down, notice their feelings, and practice self-care. Her style blends warmth and direct support to help people notice what matters and make small, steady changes.
Erica frames therapy around the whole person. She looks at physical, emotional, spiritual, and professional life together. That helps uncover how stress in one area affects others and where to start making change.
In sessions she centers the client’s perspective and uses clear tools to address problems. Cognitive and solution-focused techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and build practical steps. Motivational interviewing helps people weigh values and commit to realistic goals.
Her practice includes work around relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, career concerns, and LGBT issues. Erica also supports people dealing with money and financial issues, caregiving stress, multicultural concerns, and sexual identity matters.
Erica has nine years of experience as a counselor. She integrates narrative ideas to help people rewrite painful stories about themselves. She also offers coaching-style work for goal setting and follow-through. Sessions aim to be straightforward, hopeful, and focused on usable change.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering a supportive space to name what feels hard. It helps people gain clarity and feel heard before deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses simple exercises to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress about money. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to weigh options and strengthen your own reasons for change, useful for goal-focused work like career moves or financial decisions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaboration means the plan can shift as progress or challenges appear.
The biography does not state specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten transit time, and allow quick check-ins between appointments. It can also reduce the need to be on camera for every visit or allow shorter sessions when a full hour is not possible. Licensed professionals often adapt tools like CBT worksheets, motivational conversations, and narrative exercises to virtual settings to keep work focused and practical.
