About Erin

Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California who focuses on a broad range of emotional and relational concerns.

Background and approach

She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship and parenting challenges, identity and LGBT issues, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties coping with life changes.

Her practice also addresses nuanced areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care-related concerns, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and communication or commitment struggles. Her therapeutic style centers on a client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused approach that is tailored to each person’s values and goals.

Erin frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she uses creative interventions like art activities when appropriate. With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on practical strategies and collaborative planning to support change while remaining adaptable to a client’s preferences and needs.

Erin aims to create sessions that emphasize clients’ strengths and actionable steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erin commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for changing behaviors and managing symptoms. CBT can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape present patterns, supporting work on attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy guides her overall stance in sessions, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and the client's own goals so that treatment fits each person's values and strengths.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to determine which methods feel most relevant to their needs and adjusts techniques over time based on progress, preferences, and goals. This collaboration helps shape clear, practical steps while honoring the client's perspective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, continue work between sessions with messaging, or choose synchronous conversations when deeper dialogue is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to use CBT strategies, attachment work, and client-centered techniques effectively in remote sessions.
