Erika Feltner, LPCC

Erika Feltner is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or ADHD-related challenges. Erika approaches care with calm attention and straightforward guidance.

She concentrates on building self-compassion and clearer communication skills. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can use day to day, like strategies to manage panic attacks or ways to reduce social anxiety in specific situations. Erika also pays attention to the pressures that come with caregiving and the strain that adds to daily life.

Erika frames therapy as a collaborative process. She creates a nonjudgmental space and works at each person’s pace. That means listening first, then helping someone pick steps they can try between sessions.

Her work emphasizes concrete tools and growing insight. People might learn breathing or grounding techniques for panic, small behavior changes for social situations, and communication practices to ease conflict. The aim is to help someone feel steadier and more confident in everyday moments.

If you’re weighing therapy for stress, anxiety, or caregiver strain, Erika offers a calm, practical approach to support those concerns. She conducts sessions in English and works with each person to find realistic, manageable changes.

Evidence-based approaches for practical change

Erika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, teachable strategies that people can use right away. One common approach she emphasizes teaches grounding and breathing skills to reduce panic symptoms and calm intense worry; these are simple practices to use when anxiety spikes. Another approach centers on building communication skills and self-compassion, which helps people speak up more clearly, set boundaries, and treat themselves with less harshness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erika will listen to your goals and daily realities, then help you choose methods that fit your needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online meetings can also make it simpler to use in-the-moment coping skills during a session and to practice communication techniques in real life between meetings. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and frequency so therapy fits your routine.
