I’m so excited to connect with you! My name is Erica Richley-Duda. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I’ve been a practicing clinician for 20 years. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults. I have extensive experience working with school issues and parenting issues. I’ve also worked with couples issues. In my free-time, I love spending time outdoors and walking my dog, Noble! I’ve authored two books - “Unmasking ADHD: Navigating the Neurodivergent Mind” and “Unlocking Trauma: Creating Trauma-Informed Environments and Transforming School Discipline.”

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I’m excited to hear your story during our first session! From there, we can identify what you’d like to address during our time together, what you’d like to get out of counseling, and next steps.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Oftentimes in times of struggle, it’s hard to see the light. My strength is my ability to provide encouragement and hope to help clients take steps towards a better tomorrow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who are ready to have someone come alongside them to address barriers that are preventing them from being the best version of themselves.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Negative thought patterns are easy to get stuck in. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an approach that examines these patterns. It seeks to teach coping strategies and the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Working with this approach for 20 years, it’s been amazing to see individuals empowered as they gain insight into their thought processes in order to develop healthier ways of thinking!

As an AUDHD person my sincerity filter is pretty on point. Erica is warm, sincere and has a great sense of humor. She's really good at narrowing in on things that might not be obvious that might be a concern. I also love that she is so very encouraging and points out positive things I mention that I may not realize are positive. I feel lucky to have found her! I've had several therapists over 20+ years in 3 states. She's definitely at the top of my list.

Erica is so warm and so welcoming and a light that you need in your life! We’ve had 2 sessions and I’m so hopeful for my future and all the progress I know I will see with having her as my therapist! HIGHLY recommend! 12/10 I didn’t even realize we talked for a whole hour she’s so easy to talk to and so understanding!
