About Erin
Erin Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in Virginia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and grief. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, eating and sleeping issues, anger, and low self-esteem.
Erin creates a calm, supportive space where people can talk through what feels hardest. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, then helps build clear, manageable steps to change those patterns.
Background and approach
She encourages practical skills for coping with strong emotions and overwhelming thoughts. Her practice pays close attention to attachment and communication problems. That attention helps when relationships feel stuck or people struggle with loneliness, mistrust, or conflict.
Erin often blends conversations about past experiences with skill-building for present challenges. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, life transitions, and questions about purpose or identity. Issues like guilt, shame, body image, and compassion fatigue come up in sessions and are treated directly and respectfully.
Erin works to match her approach to each person’s needs and goals. Erin uses several well-known therapeutic methods to guide sessions while keeping the focus on what the person wants to change. She aims to help clients gain clearer self-understanding, stronger coping tools, and more satisfying daily routines.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship patterns by exploring those connection dynamics and building new ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and follows the person’s pace to help them find their own answers and build self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That partnership may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers a few practical benefits. Video calls let people use body language and tone in real time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, daily coaching, or when scheduling needs to be flexible.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when routines change. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same therapeutic approaches you would expect in an office, while tailoring sessions to how each person prefers to engage.
