Erika is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She helps me evaluate my past and how it impacts today, but also provides practical and easily applicable methods to manage daily stressors. I highly recommend her!

So far I’ve only had two sessions with Mrs. Judkins and I’ve had a good experience with her. She seems like a person I can easily open up to about my personal issues, postpartum, etc. She is a person I feel safe with. I have no complaints.

More about Erika

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am Erika Judkins, a LPC-Supervisor in Texas with 13 years experience as a therapist after receiving my Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce. My areas of expertise are working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, codependency, life transitions, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, trauma, abuse, toxic relationships and loss.

I use a strengths based, collaborative approach that is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Although life can be difficult, I believe that everyone has innate strengths that can be built upon and utilized to help through the things that we face in life. I can teach skills and provide tools to help you become the best version of you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve watched myself grow through some extremely difficult phases in my life in large part because of the welcoming, non judgmental approach Erika uses in her practice. I haven’t had a panic attack in what feels like ages - and even at baseline I don’t feel the burden of anxiety like I used to. I have stronger boundaries with others and a deeper relationship with myself these days. 10/10
