About Erin
Erin Hamer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, career questions, and LGBT-related issues. Erin’s practical focus includes adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and multicultural or discrimination-related struggles.
Erin practices in California and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward, empathic conversations to help clients clarify goals and try small changes. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what people say matters most to them in the moment. Her approach draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work around attachment and connection, and solution-focused strategies to set concrete next steps.
Motivational interviewing helps when people are unsure or feel stuck about change. Erin aims to be nonjudgmental and relatable while offering honest feedback. She welcomes people who value a therapist who understands faith-informed perspectives and those navigating LGBTQ+ concerns.
Her goal is practical growth rather than labels or judgments. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Erin often meets clients in the evenings and can arrange other times when possible.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled based on availability.

Online support
How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts with listening closely to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities; it helps people feel understood and decide what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and solve everyday problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people create clearer emotional connection and safer communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will discuss different options and help clients pick methods that match their goals and personal style. The plan can shift over time as needs and circumstances change, and decisions are made collaboratively during sessions.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands.
