About Erin
Erin Beskid is a licensed clinician who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, and life changes. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on skills people can use right away. She believes most people already have strengths to build on and sometimes need guidance to put those strengths to work.
Sessions tend to be direct but nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on simple coping tools and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
Erin mixes practical techniques with attention to what a person values and wants from life. Her background includes performance coaching, work with people recovering from injury, and teaching at high school and college levels. That range shaped her interest in how thinking and behavior affect success and well-being.
Erin has also worked with LGBTQ+ people and individuals facing crisis, addiction, or career struggles. In sessions she uses skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment work and motivational interviewing when it fits the situation.
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. Erin holds an MD and is an LCPC, and she practices in Maryland. She aims to help people gain tools for everyday life - better focus, calmer reactions, clearer goals, and steadier routines.
Her style is patient, practical, and focused on results the person can notice.
How her approach translates to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It can help when someone feels stuck or unclear about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful for impulsivity, stress, and coping under pressure.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and then tries techniques that match those goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients play an active role in shaping their care.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text sessions make brief check-ins and coaching-style support simple to fit into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care from wherever they are in Maryland and make it easier to use new skills between sessions.
