About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, parenting strain, and life transitions.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps people name the problem and try small changes. Many clients bring issues like trouble saying no, living around someone else's drinking, or losing themselves in relationships. He aims to help people recognize patterns and practice different choices in everyday life.
Nelson draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets him shift between talking things through, trying behavior changes, and using focused relaxation or imagery when helpful. Sessions may include skill practice, thought tracking, and short guided exercises.
He has worked in counseling contexts for most of his career. That background includes helping people with addiction, grief, anger, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and caregiver stress. He also addresses commitment and control issues, body image, and trauma-related problems.
People who come to him often want straightforward support for setting boundaries, coping with strong emotions, or changing patterns that keep repeating. To get started, prospective clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can make sense of their own experience. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or who have trouble naming their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and uses small experiments to test new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and repetitive patterns like people-pleasing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods together based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practice, or brief hypnotherapy techniques for relaxation and focus.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit a session into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can include step-by-step skill practice, thought records, and guided breathing or imagery exercises adapted for a remote session.
