How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist creates an atmosphere where people can speak honestly and feel understood, which helps with confidence, self-esteem, and navigating tough emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete ways to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits for anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erin will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to communicate when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.05Questions people ask
