01About Erin
Erin Plachko is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who helps people facing relationship stress, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also offers support for those navigating divorce or separation, wrestling with guilt and shame, or searching for life purpose and self-love. Erin writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Erin draws on seven years of experience that began in community mental health in the Denver area.
Background and approach
Her early work included supporting adults with severe and persistent mental illness and working in settings that touched on family concerns. She blends practical techniques with attention to each person's emotional and spiritual life, including options for Christian-informed counseling when people request it. Sessions focus on real steps that make life easier.
Erin helps clients name painful patterns, process strong emotions, and try new ways of coping. She uses short-term goals and skills practice so progress can be measured and adjusted over time. Erin aims to walk alongside people with empathy and straightforward guidance.
She emphasizes resilience, self-understanding, and personal growth so clients can move toward meaningful change. Outside of her counseling work, she stays active - cycling, gardening, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and church. Those personal interests shape her practical, energetic approach to therapy.

Approaches that guide online counseling
Erin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and self-esteem work. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by clarifying values and strengthening personal motivation. Solution-focused work centers on small, concrete steps and short-term goals to create noticeable progress quickly.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people talk face to face; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide a brief way to share updates or work through smaller steps between longer sessions. These options aim to make counseling more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
