Erica Innocent , LISW, LICSW

Erica Innocent is a licensed social worker with 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adults, and families. She holds the credentials LISW and LICSW, professional social work licenses that reflect advanced training and clinical practice. Erica draws on a humanistic, client-centered approach that emphasizes each person’s existing strengths and capacity for growth. She works side by side with clients to identify internal resources and practical coping strategies that improve day-to-day functioning and move toward longer term goals.

In sessions Erica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that can undermine emotional well-being. That combination of strengths-based partnership and skills-oriented work supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related issues, parenting challenges, and anger. She also attends to less common focus areas such as antisocial personality features when relevant.

Erica values diversity and has worked with people from many different backgrounds and life situations. She aims to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic experience and offers electronic service delivery for people residing in Ohio, Texas, California, and Alabama. Erica practices from Alabama and provides services in English and Haitian Creole.
