Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with eight years of experience helping people navigate hard seasons. She speaks directly to mothers and others feeling overwhelmed and offers steady, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges.

Erika creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s happening and begin to make changes. She leans on clear listening and straightforward techniques so clients feel seen and heard. Sessions are collaborative - she helps people set simple goals and work toward them at a realistic pace.

Her background includes work in outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home care, and virtual settings. Over the years she has supported people at many life stages, including postpartum struggles, caregiver burnout, career difficulties, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, and body image.

Erika uses an adaptable approach that draws from client-centered methods, attachment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness strategies. She explains tools and skills plainly and helps people practice them between sessions. The focus is on building coping skills, increasing self-awareness, and making steady progress toward individual goals.

Her style aims to empower clients to find clarity and practical solutions. She encourages active participation, teaches healthy coping, and supports people as they try different ways of handling stress, anger, and life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior; it can help with trust, attachment issues, and family communication. Client-centered therapy centers on warm, nonjudgmental listening and helps people find their own solutions by reflecting on thoughts and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and lived experience and then suggest techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a traditional session feel and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs ongoing written support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
