Erica Crawford, LCSW, CSW

Erica Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a long history of hands-on social work to her therapeutic practice. She has worked as a social worker for more than 14 years in a variety of settings and with diverse populations, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, LGBTQ+ related matters, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, grief and loss, and complex family dynamics. Her clinical interests also include ADHD, stress, addictions, relationship and parenting challenges, career issues, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, hearing impairment considerations, hospice and end-of-life counseling, sexual assault and abuse, sexuality, and women's issues.

She uses a client-centered stance and draws from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, tailoring methods to the needs of each person. Erica holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and she combines clinical training with a calm, empathetic presence to create a space where difficult topics can be explored.

Clients have reported that she is calm, a strong listener, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, and that she creates a safe environment for sharing. Erica aims to support people through hard situations and to walk alongside them as they work toward their goals. She makes herself available through multiple communication methods that fit clients' schedules, and she is typically available in the evenings and on weekends, checking messages at least once per day.

Erica presents herself as a supportive partner in the therapeutic process and considers it a privilege to be part of a person's journey toward growth and healing.
