Erin Goddard, LCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and life changes. She uses straightforward skills to help people cope and move forward. Her approach is practical and supportive, with a focus on clear goals and small steps.

With seven years of experience, Erin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, learning new habits, and practicing solid coping strategies.

Erin treats concerns like parenting stress, career transitions, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, aging issues, autism-related challenges, blended family dynamics, cancer-related stress, and bereavement. Her work includes communication and commitment issues, codependency, and navigating divorce or separation.

People can expect direct, respectful conversation and concrete tools to try between sessions. Erin aims to make therapy a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. She helps people identify priorities, test new approaches, and track progress.

Erin practices in Texas and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and adapts her methods to suit different schedules and needs. The overall focus is on practical change and restoring a sense of control and direction.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes homework and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered to help people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take small committed steps toward what matters most. It can be useful when someone wants to move forward despite ongoing stressors. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports growth at the person’s pace.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Erin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust over time to find the best fit for day-to-day life and longer term goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or a low-bandwidth conversation, live chat works well for brief touchpoints, and messaging lets people reflect between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady course of support.
