Approaches for Online Progress and Practical Change

Erin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding, a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to clarify values and encourage committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be helpful for navigating life changes and sustaining motivation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those areas are relevant.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Erin discusses goals and preferences with each person and combines techniques from these modalities to match individual needs rather than relying on a single method. Clients work together with the therapist to track progress and adjust strategies when needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and use brief check-ins when that suits a client's routine.
