About Erin
Erin Zachow is a licensed professional counselor who has worked in Colorado for 20 years. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and low self-esteem. Erin aims to meet people where they are and walk alongside them through change.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. She listens for what matters most and helps build small, doable steps toward better coping and clearer thinking.
Background and approach
Erin often uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She pairs that with work on motivation, self-worth, and handling guilt or shame when needed. Goals are practical and focused on everyday life improvements.
She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and the emotional work of forgiveness and self-love. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building skills that hold up over time. Erin describes the first step as brave and simple: reach out, say what’s going on, and plan the next move together.
Her approach is steady and respectful, with an emphasis on helping people feel more capable in their daily lives.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. CBT breaks problems into small steps and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving.The right therapeutic approach is usually decided together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That collaborative process guides whether CBT techniques are the main focus or are combined with work on motivation, self-worth, or managing addictive urges.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let clinicians observe facial expressions and tone while keeping appointments convenient. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using hands-on CBT exercises and planning between sessions.
