About Erin

Erin Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday strain of relationships and parenting. Her work also includes support around ADHD, eating and sleeping struggles, and managing anger and self-esteem concerns.

Erin uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, doable goals. Sessions often involve learning new skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

Attachment-based work is part of her practice. This helps people understand how past relationships shape current reactions and closeness with others. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and shift negative thought patterns that make anxiety or low mood worse.

She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused approaches to strengthen self-acceptance and improve connection in relationships. Dialectical behavior skills are used when people need tools for distress tolerance and managing intense emotions. Erin aims to create a calm, collaborative space where clients can try small changes that add up.

She helps people rebuild confidence, feel less overwhelmed, and find clearer steps forward when life feels stuck. Sessions are practical, paced to the individual's needs, and focused on everyday improvements.

Approaches that guide online care

Erin commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. That perspective can be useful for people struggling with communication problems, relationship strain, or feelings of emptiness.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more helpful thoughts. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and some aspects of ADHD management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust pace and techniques as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

These online formats make it simpler to keep consistent work on stress, relationships, ADHD-related difficulties, and day-to-day coping skills while balancing other life demands.
