About Titilayo
Titilayo “Erika” Fadahunsi Lizardo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a calm, direct approach to conversations about what’s hard right now. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and will work with each person at their pace.
Erika keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and uses that listening to tailor tools and strategies the person can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Expect problem-focused conversations, skill-building, and checking in on what changes are working. Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home care, and virtual settings. She has supported people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and draws on that range when planning care.
Erika uses an eclectic mix of methods. She leans on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered practices to keep goals personal, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are used when they fit a person’s needs.
She emphasizes collaboration and coaching. Together with each client she clarifies goals, identifies obstacles, and practices new skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Her sessions combine supportive listening with concrete steps to try.
For parents and caregivers she offers focused attention to the unique stresses of caregiving and postpartum challenges. Those who want to change habits or find clearer direction in work and life often use her coaching-style support to stay motivated and on track.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape emotions. Online sessions use talk and reflective questions to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating to others and oneself, which can help with relationship strain and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what changed in follow-ups to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily routine. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the plan is adjusted together.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, between-session coaching, or ongoing accountability for habits and tasks. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue momentum between meetings.
