Background and approach

Erin adapts care to each person, aiming to tailor interventions so they fit the client’s goals and daily life. Her practice blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based techniques and attachment-informed perspectives, and she also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her.

Erin has training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods, approaches for balancing stress and anxiety, EMDR, hypnosis, and neurolinguistic programming, and she creates a calm environment for clients who choose mindful tools for behavior change. Services are offered in English and provided with an emphasis on collaboration and practical coping skills.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Erin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action. Attachment-based ideas inform her work as well, helping explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erin tailors techniques to each person’s goals and preferences, and she will work with clients to try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The therapeutic relationship and goals guide which methods are emphasized over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected during life transitions or when in-person visits are not feasible.
