Background and approach
She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people tolerate strong emotions and improve long-term coping.

She tailors the pace of work to fit where someone is starting from, whether that means brief skills coaching or deeper weekly work. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, practice of new skills between sessions, and regular check-ins to see what’s working.

How Erin’s Approaches Work Online
Erin uses client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in what matters to each person. That means the therapist asks questions, listens, and follows the client's agenda while offering guidance and options for change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is often useful for stress, panic, and patterns that keep problems going.
Dialectical behavior therapy adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These tools help when feelings are intense or when someone struggles to stay steady during big life changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Erin will discuss goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods if something isn’t helpful. The aim is to find techniques that match a client's needs and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility while keeping the therapeutic work consistent and goal-oriented.
