About Erin
Erin Dunham is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. Erin works with adults who are facing difficult life moments and need practical support and clear next steps.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps clients try different ways of coping. Sessions focus on skills to manage emotions, problem-solving for daily challenges, and pacing work so it feels doable.
Background and approach
Erin draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. Mindfulness practices help people notice stress and calm down in the moment.
Motivational Interviewing supports clients who want to make changes but feel stuck. She also brings a psychodynamic perspective when early relationships and attachment affect current struggles. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.
These methods are blended to fit the person rather than follow a single script. Erin’s additional interests include adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and trauma-related problems such as post-traumatic stress and self-harm behaviors. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction challenges, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect clear feedback, practical tools, and a plan that evolves over time. The work is collaborative, and Erin helps people build sustainable routines and skills to move forward.
How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Erin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage thoughts and calm intense feelings. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small changes to behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that help someone notice stress and step back from automatic reactions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients want to make a change but feel ambivalent. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify what matters to the client and build internal motivation for change. Erin collaborates with each person to decide which approach or combination will fit their goals and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper, interactive work and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and let clients try different ways of staying connected to supportive therapy.
