About Elrick
Elrick Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 25 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. He creates a straightforward space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.
Elrick centers sessions on the person sitting across from him. He uses client-centered approaches to follow each person's pace and priorities. He also draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
Hypnotherapy is one tool he includes when it may help with patterns like cravings, sleep problems, or strong anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness practices are also offered to help reduce reactivity and improve focus in everyday life. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.
Expect clear explanations, simple skills to try between meetings, and regular check-ins about progress. The tone is calm and direct rather than overly clinical. Elrick has worked with a wide range of concerns across his career, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, body image, and coping with major life changes.
He also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and the emotional effects of adoption or caregiver stress. People who prefer a practical, steady approach that combines talking, skill-building, and occasional hypnotherapy may find his style a good fit. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Elrick uses approaches that fit well with remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities, which works the same way on video or phone and helps with relationship, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns like anxiety, insomnia, or unhelpful habits. Hypnotherapy is also offered as a tool to help with cravings, sleep issues, or strong anxiety responses by guiding focused relaxation and suggestion techniques.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients often combine approaches so sessions can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face when demonstrations or visual cues are useful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and are easier when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a quick message fits your day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still practicing skills and tracking progress.
