About Erin
Erin Murphy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She offers person-centered care that centers the client's goals and strengths. Erin uses practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes.
Erin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. She blends that with attachment-focused thinking to address relationship patterns and communication problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Clients come for many concerns including ADHD, depression, bipolar-related challenges, grief, trauma, addictions, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. Erin also addresses work and career stress, sleep disruption, and the effects of chronic illness or pain.
She pays attention to how stigma, identity, and neurodivergence shape daily life. Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She provides short, focused sessions that include psychoeducation, practical skill building, and planning for real-life situations.
Clients help set goals and decide which strategies to try. Erin has a background in counseling psychology and philosophy and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She offers 45-minute appointments by phone, video, or chat and helps people adapt strategies so they fit their routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward what matters. In online sessions this looks like talking through what matters most, practicing short in-the-moment exercises, and building a simple plan to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments; online CBT often uses brief skill coaching, homework, and problem-solving during video or chat sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions; work online can center on recognizing those patterns and rehearsing different ways of communicating with others.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try approaches that fit the person's experience, and adjust methods when something does not feel helpful. Clients guide the topics and pace, and therapy adapts as needs change.
Online work is offered by phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
