Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo, LCSW, CSW

Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. She works with individuals facing depression, caregiver and career burnout, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and a range of other struggles. Erika aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly about what matters to them.

Erika brings eight years of hands-on experience across outpatient clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home care, and virtual settings. That range means she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults from varied backgrounds. She draws on practical methods and adapts them to each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed method.

Her approach is client-centered and strength-based. Sessions focus on listening, building skills, and helping people set realistic goals they can reach step by step. She uses psychoeducation so clients understand how patterns form and how to change them.

Erika often uses techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness to support coping and growth. She encourages active participation in therapy and helps clients try new strategies between sessions.

Many parents and caregivers find her supportive style helpful for the daily pressures of raising children, managing relationships, and juggling work and home life. She emphasizes self-care and practical coping skills to help people move toward more peaceful, manageable days.

If someone is ready to explore changes, she helps them identify goals, clarify obstacles, and practice healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Erika adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Erika uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in close relationships and work toward more stable connections. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and meeting each person where they are so goals come from the client's own values and needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical exercises that change behavior and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erika will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they adjust methods and try different exercises until a good fit emerges.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let clients practice mindfulness, communication exercises, and behavioral experiments between sessions in real-life settings, with the therapist providing feedback and adjustments during scheduled meetings.
