Erin writes and talks in ways that make things feel manageable and immediate for worried parents and busy adults.
Erin holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, in Maryland. She brings 15 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including stress, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, grief, and trauma.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with caregivers and people navigating parenting and blended family challenges. Her approach is collaborative. She helps clients spot strengths, set clear goals, and take small, doable steps forward.
Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce negative self-talk and from acceptance and commitment work to clarify values and goals. Erin also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to improve communication and intimacy. When useful, she incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills.
She aims to match methods to each person rather than follow a one-size-fits-all plan. Many of her sessions involve practical skills you can use right away - breathing, behavior changes, clearer boundaries, and communication tools. She offers messaging and live chat plus occasional phone sessions, and she checks in during Monday through Friday to maintain steady progress.
Approach-driven care through online sessions
Erin blends cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance and commitment therapy to address everyday symptoms and bigger life choices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments so people can reduce negative self-talk and change behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays aligned with what the client needs and what is actually working.
Online therapy makes those approaches more accessible. Erin offers video calls when seeing body language or using worksheets helps, phone sessions for quicker check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief progress notes, coaching between sessions, or ongoing support. These options let people schedule care around work, school, and family life while keeping a steady therapeutic rhythm.
