Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo, LCSW, CSW

Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo is a Georgia licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting strain, grief, and life changes. Erika aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of what you bring to the room.

Erika creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She encourages active participation and works with clients to set realistic goals. Her style emphasizes listening, practical coping skills, and learning through explanation and practice.

Her work has included outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home care, and virtual settings. Over the years she has supported children, adolescents, adults, and older adults from varied backgrounds. This range informs how she adapts interventions to different life situations.

Erika blends several approaches rather than using only one method. She draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused methods, and mindfulness tools as needed. The aim is to match techniques to what helps each person make steady progress.

She highlights support for caregivers and mothers, acknowledging how overwhelming that role can feel. Erika also focuses on issues such as burnout, low self-esteem, career pressures, relationship and family concerns, trauma, and ADHD. She invites people to work together to find clarity and build skills that fit their everyday lives.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. In therapy this looks like talking about patterns in close relationships, noticing how past connections affect current choices, and practicing new ways to relate that reduce anxiety and conflict. Client-centered therapy puts the person and their experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will collaborate with each client to decide which methods feel most useful. She adapts techniques over time based on the client's goals, progress, and preferences so sessions stay focused and relevant.

The biography notes past virtual work but does not list specific current session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills between sessions in real life and bring examples directly into conversation, which can speed up learning and change.
