Erica Brumfield

Erica Brumfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening carefully and building a trusting space so people feel safe to talk about what matters most to them.

She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people find better ways to cope and make changes. Erica draws on client-centered work to shape sessions around each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and motivational interviewing to strengthen determination for change.

Sessions start with simple conversations about what brought someone in and what they hope to get from therapy. From there Erica and the client set small, manageable steps and track progress together. She aims to make goals realistic and relevant to daily life.

Erica helps people work through concerns about relationships, career direction, grief, and challenges related to ADHD and LGBT issues. Her style is warm and direct, offering practical tools alongside supportive listening.

Many people find the process easier when each session focuses on one or two clear goals. Erica encourages regular check-ins on what is working and what needs to change. She asks clients to take an active role in planning next steps and deciding how therapy should proceed.

How Erica's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify their priorities so sessions feel relevant and personally useful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, anger, and stress.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to goals. It is useful when someone feels stuck or struggles with motivation for new habits or decisions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking since the profile does not list specifics. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every appointment. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and session length.
