LSW
Accepting Clients

My name is Erica Cole, and I am a pre-licensed Social Worker committed to treating individuals, couples, and families.

Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, IL
Supervised by Shaysa Villa, LCSW

About My Clients

Many people seek therapy when relationships begin to feel strained, communication breaks down, or recurring conflict creates emotional distance. Others reach out when anxiety, stress, grief, or life transitions start to feel overwhelming. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, communication concerns, and major life transitions.

My Background and Approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with a focus on helping clients move out of stuck patterns and develop practical tools for change. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to support clients experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, and relationship challenges. In couples work, my approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, with an emphasis on communication, emotional connection, and building skills that support healthier, more secure relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Anxiety or relationship dynamics can feel confusing or painful, however, you don’t have to carry them on your own. My goal is to offer a steady, supportive space where insight and practical tools come together. If you’re looking for a therapist who values collaboration, clarity, and relational growth, I’d be glad to connect. I look forward to partnering with you upon your journey of healing and self-discovery.
