More about Famous

  • LMHC, LPC

Life sometimes can be challenging and over whelming. Many who attempt to navigate the course of life are sometimes discouraged, worried, and left with feeling of hopelessness. Yes, life is challenging and sometimes the vision for our lives are sometimes blurred; it is in these moments of uncertainty that we need an empathetic and caring person to affirm us and give us support for the challenges that we must face and overcome. I've learned early in life two powerful lessons: #1. "Never stop hoping" and #2."Your past does not equal your future."

Hello, my name is Famous Erwin, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, Georgia and a few other states. For the past 20 years I have proven to be an effective and compassionate counselor. From private practice to seminars to podcast and curriculum creations I I offer client’s my best, by providing them with a non-judgmental and emotionally safe environment while providing guidance and support as they move into a better life for themselves and their loved ones. My experience as a therapist includes working with individuals who are challenged by: depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, marital and relational dissonance, and substance abuse. The most important goal that I have for my client’s is to provide them with effective therapeutic tools that is instrumental in improving their relationships and quality of life.

The therapeutic modality that I utilize to achieve these goals in my counseling sessions are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person- Centered Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Christian/Spiritual Counseling. I also have working knowledge of NLP (Neuro Linguistic programming) techniques.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Famous has helped me immensely with my anxiety. He listens and points me to Christ and gives Biblical advice. He is always quick to respond to any messages. I would recommend him to anyone.

Famous is an incredible man of God. He has a personal walk with God that really translates into his sessions. He is non-judgmental. He is understanding and he gives great advice. He will help you with the Holy Spirit's guidance and not just give formulaic answers even though he does have some of those if need be. He also has an incredible knowledge of the Bible. He is caring and compassionate. The only down side is he does often take a few days to respond to messages. But he follows through and comes to all of his meetings, etc. In just the first session, I made great progress on some serious issues. But even after several more, we continue to work through deep things together in a practical way.

Erwin has been so great. He’s compassionate & understanding. Listens & mirrors what you’re saying really well so you know you’re heard & understood. So happy I was matched with him.

Reviewed November 2021

When I got started with Famous, I was going through some stress eating/emotional eating which I thought it was my core problem. As I was able to decompress and see what it was beneath it, I gained perspective that my lifestyle was not matching my convictions, but other people's expectations of me, which it led me to chaos and therefore finding comfort/solace in food. Recovering from emotional eating and have dealt with anorexia in the past, it has been so freeing to look at food from a purpose of "is this going to fuel my body for the tasks at hand" instead of " I can't eat this" or "I'm stressed out, had a tough day so I deserve it!". I can finally say I have a good relationship with my body. Although I workout and have learned to eat clean , it is not a diet mindset for me anymore. On the days I go overboard, I still eat normal the very next day instead of sending my body the message that today we will starve to make up for the splurge. Famous is someone that will never judge you, but he will challenge your thinking, your habits, your choices. He will applaud you when you do good but will teach you to be kind to yourself on your tough days, because you will have those and you need to be realistic.He has a christian background but he is not churchy and will not evaluate you by your faith background, but as a human being, a client. Never hesitate to share with him how you are feeling, because doing so saved me from making stupid choices twice. It doesn't matter how silly you feel, if it bothers you, say it!!! You will be glad you did. If you are the kind of person that needs assignments in order to track your progress or needs exercises that focus on issue at hand, he will be able to provide that for you. Do not hesitate to ask. I can say after 8 months working with him , the only regret I have is I wish I had started sooner.

Famous is a very talented and experienced Counselor. He's easy to talk with, extremely perceptive, and tailors his advice, techniques, and wisdom to the needs of who he is talking to. He's an attentive listener and makes good for conversation about nearly anything. I can't recommend him enough as a mental health counselor and as a guide. Especially for young men who struggle with mental health and all other hardships that come with life (stress, finances, relationships, spiritual, etc. etc). Famous is easy to relate and listen to because he uses his extensive personal life experiences and lengthy professional experience to help guide you through whatever it is you're struggling with. Can't recommend him enough, he's one of the best. Many thanks, Famous.
