How Erin’s Approaches Work Online

Erin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves simple exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she offers; ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erin talks with each person about their goals and preferences and then tries techniques that match those needs. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits what the person wants to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for teaching skills and doing guided exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when using less bandwidth or when movement is needed during a check-in. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep practice going between meetings.
