Erica Koelzer, LMSW

Erica Koelzer is a Michigan-licensed LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker who has built six years of professional experience supporting adults through emotional challenges and life transitions. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, addictions, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and the practical challenges that come with major life changes. Erica focuses on listening with sensitivity and treating each person with respect and empathy while helping them identify goals and practical strategies to feel better.

Her approach centers on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each individual - drawing on evidence-based techniques to build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and process difficult emotions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort, offering guidance and encouragement while empowering people to take the steps they choose toward greater wellbeing. Seeking help takes courage, and Erica aims to be a steady, compassionate partner for those ready to begin that process.

Evidence-Based Methods and Online Care

Erica uses evidence-based, skills-focused work to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. One focus is practical coping skills training - teaching strategies for reducing worry, managing stress, and increasing resilience so that clients can handle difficult moments more effectively.

She also offers grief-focused and emotion-focused support that helps people process loss and rebuild a sense of meaning and routine. This approach gently explores feelings and develops adaptive ways to remember and move forward while honoring what has been lost.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Erica approaches this as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy provides flexibility to meet from home or on the go through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care regardless of local commute constraints, while still working closely with a licensed professional.
