About Erin
Erin Ellis is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience helping people manage a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and adapts conversations and care plans to each person's distinct needs. Her practice also includes support for issues like grief, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, bipolar management, and coping with life changes.
Erin draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to structure sessions around practical skills and relational understanding. She has experience addressing codependency, panic disorder and panic attacks, self-harm, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and women's issues.
Based in New York, Erin provides services in English and offers multiple session formats to fit diverse schedules and preferences. She frames the initial step of beginning therapy as an act of courage and positions herself as a collaborative partner in the process of creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Erin blends practical, skills-based strategies with empathic listening to help clients navigate both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to teach concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, panic, and other symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance in which the client's experiences guide the pace and focus of work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Erin works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, and then adapts techniques from CBT, client-centered work, and DBT to fit those needs. This teamwork helps tailor sessions to practical goals such as managing panic attacks, improving relationships, or building coping skills for addiction or grief.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels with communication. These options make it possible to maintain momentum between sessions and to access support from different settings, helping clients build consistent practice and apply skills in daily life.
