About Erin
Erin Arney is a licensed mental health professional with 10 years of experience. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices from Kentucky. Erin focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions in clear, practical ways.
Her approach blends several methods so sessions feel tailored. Erin uses cognitive tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. She also draws on mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people notice their experience without getting overwhelmed.
Background and approach
Erin pays close attention to family background and attachment patterns. She helps people untangle family of origin issues, communication problems, and codependency. When appropriate, she addresses feelings like abandonment, jealousy, guilt, and shame in simple, step-by-step work.
Practical coping skills are a staple of her work. Clients learn ways to reduce anxiety, manage chronic pain or illness, and navigate major life changes. She also supports people dealing with isolation, aging concerns, and challenges tied to military or veteran background.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Erin aims for clear goals and small, achievable steps between meetings. She matches therapeutic methods to each person's needs and helps people build routines that make daily life more manageable.
To begin, Erin asks questions about current struggles, history, and what a better week would look like. From there she and the person create a straightforward plan and check progress over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and take action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms and solve everyday problems. It often targets anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships, and it helps people develop healthier ways to connect and communicate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That means starting with conversations about what feels most urgent and then adjusting tools and homework as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging help people share updates between meetings and fit support into a busy day. These options let people access consistent help without rearranging their whole schedule.
