How Erin’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Erin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and trouble sleeping. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action, which helps people cope with stress, addiction, or big life transitions.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 fit those needs. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits longer conversations and skills practice, phone can be a simpler check-in or used when bandwidth is low, chat or text messaging works well for short updates, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into busy routines and keep momentum between meetings.
