Background and approach
When trauma or painful memories are present, Erin pays attention to pacing and safety. She helps people build coping skills first, then gently tackles difficult material at a pace the client sets. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation for change.
Erin also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions. She listens for patterns that cause recurring conflict and offers concrete communication and problem-solving tools. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes a graduate degree in counseling and many years working with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Erin describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages questions about approach and goals. She invites people to try a format that fits their routine and comfort level.
How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Erin commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them name priorities and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful habits or reactions.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships or intense emotions are central. That approach helps people identify and name emotions, then practice new ways of responding to themselves and others. Together, these approaches help with mood, anxiety, relationship strain, and ADHD-related struggles by giving clear strategies and emotional awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Erin works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts techniques as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions fit times with less bandwidth or when being on camera is not preferred. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, ongoing homework, or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines.
