The LPCC credential indicates state licensure to provide clinical mental health counseling, and Erin brings focused experience working with children, teens, adults, and whole families.

Her approach centers on the client - drawing on each person or family's strengths while offering solution-focused, individualized care that honors their values and goals. In sessions she often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she incorporates art-based activities when those interventions fit a client’s needs and preferences.

Flexible and collaborative, Erin adapts sessions to match what works best for each client. She prioritizes practical strategies and meaningful skills while supporting families and individuals through transitions and crises. She looks forward to working with clients who seek compassionate, strengths-oriented counseling.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Erin often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing clients to set the pace and focus while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support and validation - it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust formed in early relationships and helps people and families repair relational wounds and strengthen bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills to change behavior and mood, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts interventions over time to fit each person or family.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of treatment, practice new skills between sessions, and make therapy more accessible when in-person visits are difficult.
