About Erika
Erika Aucoin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Erika sees individuals across different stages of life and focuses on practical skills and steady support.
She draws on personal and professional experience to guide conversations toward useful, doable steps. Sessions aim to teach skills such as emotion regulation, coping strategies, and ways to improve communication. The tone is straightforward and focused on real-life problems rather than jargon.
Erika has worked with a broad range of concerns including attachment issues, caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, mood disorders, and self-harm. She also addresses challenges linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome, postpartum depression, and ongoing effects of trauma. Her approach emphasizes clear goals and measurable steps clients can practice between sessions.
Appointments are offered with flexibility to fit family and work schedules. She encourages parents to learn practical strategies for guiding children, and supports adults who need help rebuilding daily routines and relationships. Erika favors teaching tools clients can use right away, such as communication techniques and coping routines.
Her work aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable parts and practicing skills in session. People who reach out should expect direct conversation, concrete exercises, and guidance toward steady progress.
How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive-style approaches focus on noticing thoughts that fuel anxiety and testing them with small, doable experiments. This helps people who struggle with worry, panic, or social fears see which thoughts are helpful and which can be challenged.Behavior-focused techniques emphasize gradual practice of feared situations and building new routines. This method supports people working on phobias, panic, or obsessive behaviors by breaking tasks into short steps and rehearsing them until they feel more manageable.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Erika will discuss goals, preferences, and the particular problems you bring, and then suggest techniques to try. She checks in and adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits how you prefer to work.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow flexible scheduling around school or work. Some formats may also let you have a shorter check-in or avoid being on camera when that helps you engage.
