Erica Bell

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing individual therapy in New York and Georgia. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University and have over ten years of experience working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family stress, and life transitions.

I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through the Beck Institute, founded by Dr. Aaron Beck, the developer of CBT. My work focuses on helping clients understand themselves more deeply, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop effective tools for change.

I believe clients already have strengths they can build on. My goal is to help you gain insight, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful, sustainable change aligned with the life you want.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I help clients understand patterns related to anxiety, depression, and trauma, while also building practical coping skills for daily life. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments to support meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy with me is active, supportive, and tailored to your needs. I balance empathy with honest feedback to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

The first session is an introductory conversation focused on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope to change. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, history, and goals, and you’re welcome to ask questions as well. This session helps us begin shaping a plan for treatment at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
