Her approach is straightforward and skills-focused so people can practice between sessions.

Erin draws on 15 years of experience supporting people from many walks of life.

Sessions often focus on building coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and learning mindfulness techniques. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and motivational interviewing to match what each person needs.

People who prefer a skill-based, collaborative approach tend to fit well with her style. She encourages questions and tries to make progress feel practical and realistic. If someone wants focused tools to manage anxiety, improve communication, or find clearer goals, she offers structured sessions to practice those skills.

How Erin Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Erin works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT sessions often include exercises and homework so people can practice new skills between meetings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for those coping with anxiety, stress, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way; DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and better communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then tailor a plan that may draw from several methods. She checks in regularly to make sure the chosen strategies are working and adjusts them as needed.
