About Titilayo

Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo offers a compassionate, client-focused approach to therapy grounded in eight years of practice as a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia.

Background and approach

Erika emphasizes creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, burnout, and other life transitions. She draws on a range of methods and adapts techniques to each person’s needs while helping clients build coping skills and greater self-awareness.

Erika’s background includes work across outpatient clinics, in-patient psychiatric settings, in-home care, and virtual services, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Her style is client-centered and strength-based, using psychoeducation and motivational support to empower people to set and reach goals.

Internal Family Systems is among the approaches she uses to help clients access internal resources and understand different parts of themselves. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, encouragement to participate actively in the process, and practical strategies for managing emotions and improving functioning.

Erika highlights self-care and gradual self-discovery, offering compassionate listening combined with clinical tools to navigate challenges and pursue greater well-being.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Internal Family Systems helps clients explore internal parts and their roles, supporting work with trauma, self-esteem, and conflicted emotions by fostering internal dialogue and compassion for different aspects of the self. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in close relationships, helping people understand and change how they relate to others and process attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to create a collaborative space where clients set the pace and focus of their work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine what methods best match a client's goals, preferences, and needs. That process may involve trying different techniques and adapting the plan as progress and insights emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work from home or other accessible locations. These formats support consistent engagement, allow for varied ways to process material between sessions, and make it possible to maintain momentum even when schedules or circumstances change.
