How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Erin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match those values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes because it focuses on meaningful goals rather than just symptom removal.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, non-judgmental space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps people who want a gentle, validating place to talk through identity, relationship, or emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when practical skill-building is helpful to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors related to sleep, stress, or mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Sessions can mix approaches and adjust over time as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a full session structure. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
