About Erin

Erin Arney is a licensed mental health professional with a decade of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices from Kentucky, bringing an integrative perspective that links emotional, physical, and relational well-being.

Background and approach

Erin draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs and values. Her style blends practical skills with attentive listening, aiming to create a space where clients can explore family patterns, attachment concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the effects of chronic illness or grief.

Erin incorporates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral tools, and acceptance-based practices to help clients develop coping strategies, improve communication, and navigate complex emotions like guilt, shame, or isolation. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on realistic goals and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions aligned with personal values to build a meaningful life.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections, which can be useful for addressing family problems, communication issues, and feelings of isolation. Together these approaches offer both practical skills and opportunities to understand deeper relational dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She emphasizes tailoring interventions rather than applying a single technique, so clients can experiment and provide feedback as they progress.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within her service area.
