Background and approach
Erin also offers support for ADHD, bipolar challenges, addiction, and career-related strain. Erin uses approaches that match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods to shape sessions.

Erin emphasizes building new skills and clearer communication. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools to try between sessions. Her experience includes work with grief, family of origin problems, codependency, and substance-related issues.

Using evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a valued life. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy makes those approaches accessible through multiple formats. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want shorter, frequent support or who prefer writing over speaking. These options allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a consistent therapeutic process.
