Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when patterns of thinking or behavior feel stuck and people want clear steps to change. Mindfulness-based methods are introduced to help with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Narrative ideas are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to open up new perspectives.
Erin also brings psychodynamic thinking when helpful to understand deeper relationship patterns that repeat over time. Sessions focus on concrete goals and simple tools that are easy to try between meetings. Erin aims for clear explanations and straightforward homework when it will help.
She adapts the pace and style to meet each person where they are. With six years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW, Erin blends practical techniques with a respectful, empathetic approach.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Erin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, social fears, and managing stress with clear steps to practice between sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening and following the person's lead. That approach helps people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and set goals at their own pace. Mindfulness techniques are included to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods, and then she will collaborate to decide which approaches to try. Changes are reviewed and adjustments are made together over time.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options help people access regular support without long travel or scheduling hurdles.
