01About Erin
Erin Beskid greets people who are worn out by stress, anxiety, and life changes. She focuses on practical skills that make day-to-day life feel easier. Erin uses clear, direct guidance while staying calm and nonjudgmental.
She holds MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC credentials and has 15 years of clinical experience. Erin came to mental health through performance and sport, so she often frames challenges in terms of skills and practice.
Background and approach
That background led her to work with people facing injury recovery, coaching goals, and high-pressure moments. Over time she added work with addiction, ADHD, LGBT concerns, and compassion fatigue to her approach. Her sessions emphasize coping skills and behavioral change.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people settle into values-based choices. Erin also uses motivational interviewing when people want to make changes but feel stuck.
She aims to build on strengths and teach tools that fit each person’s daily life. Her style mixes practical exercises, skill rehearsal, and straightforward conversation. People who prefer a collaborative, skills-focused approach often find her easy to work with.
She keeps goals concrete and progress measurable. Erin invites clients to try approaches and adapt them until they feel useful.

Practical approaches you can use online
Erin draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT provides step-by-step skills for handling intense feelings and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Erin discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed. The plan is collaborative and reviewed over time so methods fit the person’s life and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video sessions allow for face-to-face work and skill coaching, while phone calls can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth.

These options give flexibility so people can use the methods that work best for them.
