About Erma

Dr. Erma Croom welcomes adults seeking support for challenges like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients' experiences and goals guide the work together. Clients who are navigating trauma, loss, life transitions, relationship strain, or struggles with self-esteem and addictive behaviors may find practical support and emotional validation in sessions.

With three years of professional practice as an LPC licensed in Georgia (GA LPC LPC013945), Dr. Croom centers the client as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and skills to help manage symptoms and build resilience.

Her experience also includes work around issues such as multicultural concerns, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and matters related to identity and relationships. She accepts English-speaking and international clients and uses a collaborative stance to tailor the process to each person’s unique needs and values.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Erma Croom draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional processing. One common approach helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another method emphasizes developing coping strategies and behavioral skills to manage stress, cravings, panic symptoms, and everyday challenges. These techniques are useful for people working through trauma, grief, ADHD-related difficulties, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and responses to interventions, and adapts the plan as progress evolves. This collaborative stance helps tailor which evidence-based techniques will be most helpful for a person's specific situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, therapeutic support.
